A Reflection On My Job Search

My journey to the New York Times

For most people, job search is the first time that they are truly in their own timezone. It is certainly true for me. There is no set date when you know the decisions will be released. Depending on your luck, you’ll only have to go through a couple interview rounds. But if you are like me, then you’d go through 36.

It’s scary. It scared me. The four months I spent job searching were the most difficult period of my life yet. But it certainly made me tougher.
