We touched on this earlier, with our overly aggressive instructions on how to avoid netflix and ice-cream in your first few weeks unemployed; but it bears going into in more depth. Get used to being rejected, for little to no reason. Get very used to it. Often, when applying for hundreds upon hundreds of jobs you will be summarily dismissed without you even knowing about it. You won't even receive a letter telling you you've been rejected. If you're especially lucky, if you're a shining example of someone they might like to employ but only in five years when you've had constant relevant experience you might receive a letter thanking you for your application, but commiserating you on your unsuccessful application. Hey they'll keep your CV on file right? No, of course not. But you might get an interview?
