How to get a job by theydontcare

"Just doing it persistently, like you have to brush your teeth everyday."

How I did it:

Pure random luck, I guess. The more stones you turn, the better chance you can find the treasure underneath.

Being flexible might be a good approach.  I started my job search according to my industrial and geographic preference. After multiple major setbacks, I began to apply for jobs in any industry and at any location desperately.  Then the result turned out to be a job with the function I do not actually love most, and a location not my top choice. But it has a fat six figure salary and a Fortune top 20 brand, so hope it might be a good step stone for a future career switch.

Lessons & tips: Doing it without putting too much emotion into it, take it as a daily routine, try not to have any emotion after being rejected again and again, just keep working on that.
