A few days ago [Friday] I applied to a job, only to get the standard rejection email this morning in my inbox. I wasn’t upset because unpopular opinion is that I prefer getting rejected than never hearing from that company. Imagine taking the time to make that resume and cover letter to fit that position. […]

If you have never heard of CNBC Make It, I would recommend trying out their content because it is good and relatable as a twenty-something year old.
