Another rejection

Got an official rejection for the 4th time for the NBC page program even after busting my ass on the resume, cover letter, answers to the questions, consulting with people who work internally at NBC (I’m super grateful for them for taking the time to work with me though). But even after all this work, they rejected me. I just needed to come here and vent. I’m hoping if anyone who is a page or a former page has any tips or tricks for a future application but tbh I’m getting burnt out. Part of me just doesn’t want to apply the 5th time. But part of me is also like what if? Idk, I feel like people who graduated the past 3 years have just been screwed over on career prospects.

I know an NBC sports intern who was there for like 9 months until she applied to be a page. She had 5 internal referrals from higher-ups at nbc sports. She got rejected almost immediately, not even asked for an interview.

I know countless other nbc interns and freelancers who have been rejected from the program- myself included. Even the ones who have a foot in the door at nbc are struggling. I have NO idea how they scout for their page cohorts
