Rejection is the pathway to greatness

[nattynerdy]

I got rejected from IBM 10 times, Google 7 times, Intel 5 times, Facebook 3 times, Amazon 2 times, never heard back from Apple. But I am now being hired full-time by Microsoft. They were my sixth internship, when my first was for a family business in their garage in the boonies for $9/hr. I got rejected twice from the company I got my 4th internship at before I got it. It took almost 2 years after I met the recruiter at my fifth company to get an internship there. Rejection means literally nothing except that you get more interview practice for the next time. Not everyone will see your awesomeness right away or even at all. But persistence, dedication, and learning from your mistakes will put you on the right path
