Part II in my very occasional series on applications that don’t succeed.
Why I do this: Most people who apply for prestigious positions fail, and it seems healthy to acknowledge that truth. Otherwise, we end up in a world where all we can see are the triumphs of the people around us, in stark contrast to our own failures. (Some people refer to this as “Facebook envy”.)
So I’m swimming against the tide, by showcasing the times I wrote something with all my might, only to receive a rejection letter.
