What I learnt from 700 e-mail applications

Mechanical engineer Ronith Stanly wrote more than 700 e-mail applications for research opportunities following his undergraduate degree — and was unsuccessful almost as many times. “But the rejections taught me valuable, career-defining lessons,” writes Stanly, who is now starting a PhD programme in Stockholm. He shares how he came to stand out from the crowd.
