When you don't get that job, when you don't get that internship, when all the resumes, cover letters and career fairs do nothing, what do you do?

You chase, god dam you chase and you may in fact never reach the goal (perhaps that is the scariest part) but you chase anyway. Whether you chase because of determination or insanity you chase anyway. And when all the world is looking down upon you, when you feel like utter garbage waking up and still not having the job, you don't quit- you chase, you just keep going.

Here is to those still running, to those still chasing, I am with you

Hang in there. Just when things get the bleakest, something happens.

It's alright to fail 1,000,000 times, as long as you give it 1,000,001 tries.

I'm with you, too and wish you the best of luck. Something is bound to happen some day. I hope it's very soon.

I hope you are right. I say this to others, and I try to believe it for myself. I hope you are right. I hope.

Agreed. That's all you can do. Well, you ultimately have two choices:

Keep trying.
Throw in the towel.

Which one is going to benefit you more? As you said, you can fail every single time as long as you try ONE more time after each fail.
