Is Self-Doubt Part of the Process?

@jazzpianodad - my D has never received as much rejection as she has in the “real world”. However she really does brush it off now (which I think is a big accomplishment for my little snowflake). And the “no responses” seem to be common. She can fly to an audition (after being invited), audition…and never hear back. Nothing … even after a follow-up email with an individual at the company that had been working with her to coordinate the visit. That’s for opera. Theater is a better. They do seem to have the courtesy to say “no thanks”. But she knows this is part of the game; and, like your son, she does get enough yeses to always be about 9 months out with work. But the “no responses”, after an invitation and a flight, are obnoxious imho. Just had to let that out!
