Guest Post: So I put an offer down for my dream property and ended up pulling back the offer before it was shown to the seller

So I’ve been doing some viewing for some time – Looking for properties near London in nice commuter friendly towns as well as within some London Broughs. I came across a property that ticked all my boxes. The right number of bed and bathrooms, on the right floor, right area – honestly – it was perfect. I wouldn’t find a fault in the property or area itself. I decided to put in an offer of 5k…

So I applied to 100 jobs a day for 3 months straight, got rejected from 8999 jobs. This is what I learnt.

I always laugh when someone fresh out of university with little to no experience tells me they applied to maybe 3 jobs a month and are waiting for months to hear back from the recruiter.
