The final component of job hunting involves developing realistic expectations about the process. Because only a few résumés will make it through the screening process and you will not be the only candidate called for an interview, you will likely face rejection at least once during the course of a job search—either because there was a better-qualified applicant or because an equally qualified candidate had some advantage (such as a personal contact in the company). Remember that rejection is common—the inevitable result of a tight job market and a less-than-perfect selection process (Fisk, 2010; Hershatter & Epstein, 2010; Lebo, 2009; Luo, 2010). Persistence pays. If you approach the job search intelligently and persistently, you will eventually get a job (Rampell, 2013).
