A stack of rejection emails before your first job offer is normal. It’s the process, not a verdict on you.

Applications are a numbers exercise long before they are a judgment on anybody. Most of the time nobody has read far enough to form an opinion about you at all; a filter did it, or somebody internal already had the role. The volume of refusals is a feature of how hiring works at your stage rather than a measurement of you. Everybody with a job collected a pile of these first.

Apply at a steady rate rather than in bursts that follow your mood. A fixed number a week, tracked in a list, so the refusals become a counter instead of separate blows.
