Today I lost but must importantly I learnt and reading this just made me feel better. Back up story I wrote my GRE (graduate record exams) today and I scored a little below the preferred cut of mark for my school I felt frustrated after committing 3 month to diligent study. Guess what I still submitted my result to this school I want to also hear what they have to say

5 months after and I'm back to ask: What did they say?

Unfortunately no response but I wrote another exam and I passed that one 🤗

I've also thought about a platform where we can share our Ls (at least, the sharable ones). You've also listed probable drawbacks to the idea😪

I'm still a big fan of the idea though

Expand full comment

yeah, that drawback 😂. There's plenty of those type of fake stories on LinkedIn already.

OKay, I gotta comment on this one. This will actually be my first time making the effort to respond to your newsletter. Today's piece had me on a joyride. What a resourceful way to pen down your experience. Also I'd count this as a win because you actually got the job, maybe in another universe like this one where a version of you lives in the US!! HAha

And thank you for taking 2 mins of your time to read and comment. Can we do this more often? 🥺

Expand full comment

Yeah sure

Expand full comment

you had me at “also I’d count this as a win”. 🤣🤣🤣 BUT you’re right though. I would have actually got the job if things were perfect.
