Six rejection letters you simply MUST see!
If you're tired of being rejected over and over again when applying for jobs for even internal promotions, don't feel too bad about it.
The Drive Team has discovered your rejection should by no means be taken as a sign of things to come.
In fact, if our evidence is anything to go by, perhaps your rejection letters might just be the catalyst you needed!
We have come across five celebrities (and one journalist) who were rejected at first, and then went on to very, very, very big things.
Take a look at these rejection letters.
If you had to pick one rejection letter you agree with here, which would it be?

This rejection letter was received earlier this year by New York music journalist Amanda Mester. While The Drive Team has never heard of Amanda, her response to the rejection letter is what we love! As you'll see, she politely corrects all the grammatical errors made by her potential employers in their rejection letter. We love it!
