The ones who land offers don't have better resumes, they have better endurance. ## Mechanism The job search follows a predictable loop: apply, hear nothing, revamp, get interviews, get rejected, adjust, repeat. Treating rejection as a data point rather than a verdict keeps you moving through the cycle until you land an offer.
