Twitter is very much a place where we choose what we share, and often only share our successes. But I think it's equally important for people to see the failures.

Here's two rejection emails from a few years ago where I felt confident after each interview and thought I had it.

It's hard not to take it personally sometimes, because it feels like a personal rejection. But having gone through this on both sides, I know it isn't usually isn't.

Sometimes the skills just don't line up and there's confusion on what they're actually looking for.

But looking back at these and seeing where I am now, I'm kinda glad it didn't work out, because I might not be where I am today.

The point is to keep going and growing. You'll learn a lot more from failure than success.
