A comment on Eric Schmidt is working to launch a university. Parent comment
Job hunts are a campaign. If you're pretty good you'll land a job but you might not land every job.
While this varies from company to company generally resumes get you interviews and interviews get you jobs.
Even if you have a 95% pass rate for any one interviewer, you're at like 77% for passing a 5 person panel. Good but hardly a guarantee.
But if you have even three job interviews, the chance that you'll get atleast one is 98.7%. Not so bad!
Sure it's a bit hand-wavy but I hope it takes the edge off this interviewing business for you the way it does for me.
Cheers!
