Job market math!
This is a depressing concept, but an entertaining read (if you can get past it being in Esquire).
If you’re doing a thorough job search, you will get rejected sometimes. If you’re not getting rejected, you’re not putting yourself out there enough. And if you don’t learn to see rejection as a chance to improve your approach, then you’ll have a very difficult time getting a job.

“We live in the linear dimension pretty much by default. It takes deliberate thought — and courage — to reach beyond our comfort zones, give up some control, and allow chance to play a role in our professional lives.”
Job searching is like really bad dating, even worse since you have to write a thank you letter afterwards, and get enough courage to try again the next day. As Randy Pausch said “Brick walls are there for a reason, they let us prove how badly we want something.” Appropriate for an architecture graduate, no?
