so i got rejected by my dream company without even getting an interview. i had someone working there in a high position forward my application and it was only and internship and they still rejected me.

and now i've fallen into this super deep pit of shitty depression and the worst part is that these weeks were my finals. i actually didn't manage to study for them at all and didn't do any of my essays so i skipped out on an exam today hoping that i'll be able to retake it. i'll pass even if i don't, but my prof is kinda super important in the industry and i'm stressing out so much. worst part is if i retake that exam i'm still not sure if i could pass it because it's a fucking horrible topic that i just can't wrap my head around and i feel like i SHOULD because it's part of my fucking job to know those things.

ugh.

and tomorrow is our end of semester party and i just don't feel ready to leave school yet and go out and work but worst of all APPLY because i'm scared shitless of application tests and interviews and all that shit and i don't want to work anywhere else but at that company, but i know if i want to have a chance there i have to gain work experience or something and that's a shitty mindset to bring to an application too. the other company that might take me and that seems interesting does work which i'm not a big fan of and they're in a different city and hiring long-term so i'm not sure how shitty it would be to apply there and then piss off the moment i get a chance at my dream company. the industry is pretty tight knit and all.

and today the guy who forwarded my application encouraged me to send it again "beginning next year" and i'm not sure if i should take that seriously or if he's just saying that, because he's just a nice guy and very encouraging to people in general.

i'm sorry i guess i should've collapsed this or something

As someone who couldn't get a job at a great company even knowing one of the board of directors, believe me, I understand.

Do keep applying, because if the guy isn't telling other people this, he sees potential in you.

Most people don't get their dream jobs straight out of school, but that doesn't mean that you can't send in your application again later and get some experience in the meantime.

+1. It sucks that you didn't get the job, but don't give up hope? Now might not work, but you can always keep sending your application in while getting experience elsewhere.

Sounds like he means for you to send it in next year after you get some experience under your belt.

Apply elsewhere, other companies may be a lot of fun to work for.

I honestly think you should let go of this "dream job" idea as well. I'm not saying you shouldn't apply there again, but I think you need to stop idealizing it. Jobs are jobs. And even if you think you'll love a company you may not, even the best places can be full of shitty bosses and shitty coworkers or projects you may not like.

If you get a job at that "dream" company, then great! If not, that's also great! Find ways to be happy that don't revolve around work, because that's inevitably going to let you down.
