Getting rejected isn't fun for anyone. In this issue of TTP, I explore the social science as to why that is and bring some advice from some of this year's incoming APM class on rejection!
"I also want to say that recruitement can be heavily luck-based. But it’s important to put yourself in situations to get lucky. So keep networking, applying, and practicing because when luck comes, it’ll be with preperation and readiness to capture it."
100% I am a big believer that “luck” is just when preparation meets opportunity. The fact of the matter is, for every role being posted, especially highly coveted APM roles, the amount of well qualified, great fitting candidates, out weighs the openings at least 20:1 if not more. In order to succeed, you're going to have to fail over and over, my rejections to offer ratio must be close to 500:1 and that's hardly an exageration.
Only reason I am where I am today is because I swung and missed hundreds of times!
