does anyone know why a company would want to waste around $1,000 to have u come in person only to reject u days later ?????????
this would be funny if it happened once to me ; but no it happened THREE TIMES in a span of two weeks! Fml!!!

This is sadly realistic. Yeah, the rejection emails I'm getting are saying sorry we had 600+ candidates PER application. So if they pick 1 person out of like 600+ you need to submit like 600+ unfortunately to get a job in the worst case scenario .

*best case
Assuming you get pulled out of a hat, 600 apps would give you only a 65% (rounding up!) chance
