 I was rejected by 30 companies when I tried to apply for my first ever design job. So what did I learn? Don't take it personally. Rejection happens all the time and it hurts bad. Oh, don't look at me. But I'm here to tell you this. 99% of the time it's not about you and 100% of the time it's out of your control. So it's really how you internalize and react to their rejection. That's what really matters. Let me tell you a secret.
