How many times have you been rejected before getting your first job?

I've never been turned down at all, the job finds me on its own

0, because I started my own business from sophomore when I was at the college!

Kind of a similar experience, rejection is not bad because we learn from the experience and it shapes our future decisions.

I haven't been rejected by employers because, well, I haven't given them the chance to experience the unique joy of working with me... yet! 😄

About 100 resumes I sent, about 20 interviews and only 2 offers - this is the result of my first job search in IT

There were quite a lot of companies, and I understand why they refused for fear of hiring an employee without experience to work for the company. But now times are different and companies themselves provide you with experience.

I remember when I started applying for the first time in my first year of uni. It was a super scarry experience. 😅😄 Got a lot of rejections, now that I do what I like doing, it all feels worth it! 😊🙌

I never had job

Five or six time I guess. A golden period in my life. I learned the best lessons of my life in that period.

10 times, 11th was my first job :)

Just once, if I recall correctly. And I don't regret it.

Actually none. I was to two interviews before landing my first job, where I was offered the job both times. However I turned them both down, because I was reached out to by another company via a Swedish programming forum, that seemed to be a much better fit for me.
