Twenty-five rejections
You are a student looking for a part-time job to pay for next year's tuition.
Over the past two months you have applied to 25 jobs in cafés, retail, tutoring and on campus. You have had two interviews and no offers. Your savings will cover one more month of rent, and friends who found jobs easily keep telling you to "just keep applying."
