Hey,

I had a call over the weekend with someone trying to break into recruitment analysis.

Three rejections in a week. None of them told him why.

He thought he was doing something wrong.

He wasn’t. Not really.

Here’s something I said to him on the call that I think every aspiring recruitment analyst or scout needs to hear.

If you walked into my football club and applied for a role today, it would be an easy no for me. Not because you’re not capable. Not because your background is wrong. Not because you haven’t put the effort in.
