The Hunt often drags indefinitely, sometimes beyond graduation. Results are often thin and not sustaining. It is discouraging to obtain interviews and not offers, and it is more discouraging to watch classmates with lesser qualifications receive offers that should be sent to your address.

Analyze your performance and preparation, and change any perceptible deficiencies, in the form of your resume, writing-sample quality, and interviewing technique. Fortunately, because it means your techniques suffice, but, unfortunately, because it means you are helpless, often your merits are not crucial to the hiring process. The firm may decide to hire or reject based on factors not directly related to your qualifications.


Attitude becomes the most important aspect of your interviewing career as the days multiply. Interminable waiting and consistent rejection damage confidence, and attitude becomes sodden. Recognize that inevitable process and, after analyzing your performance and preparation and altering any weaknesses, focus on each battle and not on the increasing burden. Attitude shows in interviewing and throughout the hunt. Employers see only the discouragement of an emotionally tired applicant and assume that it characterizes your personality and work in general. Dejection begets rejection.

Appearance is all-important in the late stages of the hunt because enthusiasm does not fuel you anymore. Make the "look" good as long as necessary.
