The fact that you got spotted by a fan at the gym is so fun. Soon you won't be able to go anywhere. Thanks for sharing this one in advance and then publishing. It's a principle I need to keep top of mind, which I why I begged for it.
Loved this story - hard relate to job hunting as an international graduate. It's just a heavier lift. Also great point that even the most selective programs/schools don't have the right support for non-traditional paths - it's ironic but true
I haven't had much luck with the Third Door yet but as someone with not the greatest grades, hitting the pavement networking's been a strong weapon
In 2018, I was just connecting with everyone who I interviewed to keep in touch in case an opening came up later - the timing was off when the opening did work out but that's just how these things are I guess
You truly embody this idea! That’s why when I referenced it, I was sure you had already heard of it. Awesome reflection, reminding me to keep looking for the third door.
always so endlessly in awe of you <3

Glad you found the third door! And thank goodness for that Disney-loving ex-colleague ;)
Can’t forget the colleague that showed me what Reddit was for the first time, too! ;)

Yeah! It's like... the "weak ties" sometimes end up working but maybe not at the exact time you envisioned.
I couldn't get far with my grades. They filter me out ASAP with my GPA... but they're not everything :)
This essay made me think, thanks for sharing Becky! (all the post-essay third door references were funny lol)
Third doors are everywhere!
