I used to be rejected a lot because I worked for several years before starting university (I was 23 at the time), and unlike most other people who start studying engineering only after several years working, I didn't have much work experience in any engineering field. So I was too old for trainee programs, and didn't have relevant work experience for other roles. I generally came off good when I managed to get interviews. First three interviewers said no because wrong profile(their job ad was a bit vague)/too 'old' (they 'missed' my dob on my CV)/didn't hit it off with my would-be boss, an then fourth and fifth interviews turned into job offers.
My point is, at least here and in my field, it's hard to get over the first 'filter' if you don't look 'perfect' on paper, so it might take a while.Indifference is Bliss

Just keep going. Rejections are discouraging, but I would give it at least another month.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Yes, having your resume rejected a lot is part of the process.
Don't get discouraged until you've been rejected in many many interviews.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I was told I am ineligible for veterans programs because I have experience.
So ineligible for undergraduate entry level, only accounting experience precludes me from experienced positions in anything outside of accounting, and because I have experience with a bank, I'm ineligible for veterans programs.

The solution of course would be to get an MBA, allowing me to start over but I wanted to earn more money first before the expense of an out of pocket MBA."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Sounds silly, but you just need interviews.

They are well worth it of you go to a top 10 school. Most of the big firms with the high salaries won't even look at your resume unless you went to a top 20 school. That is just the way it is.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

The lower tier schools can occasionally be worth it for a MBA if you already have a good job, they will pay for part of your continuing education, and such a degree will help you secure a promotion. Failing that, no, not really worth it. Go to a top school or get someone else to pay for it.Last edited by Dinner; November 15, 2015, 15:45.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
