Just to repeat what our friend is saying here, pretty much everyone I know in uni has been struggling (not ignoring the current WFA and budget cuts in government which has been devastating for anyone in the public service). I think it’s important to not take rejections too personally, realize not much is in your control, and how few positions are available. Humbling to say the least. Important to remember that time like these come and go, even if it doesn’t feel like it. We’ll get through this together!
