[job hunt] I am not Alicia Soderberg

Perusing the astrophysics jobs rumor mill makes me depressed because it tells me which jobs I am unlikely to get. Here's a quick summary of where things stand:

	Faculty	Postdoc
applications sent	22	16
rejections received	1	4
rumored rejections	12	6
no word yet	9	6
more applications to do	3	1

Plus, a referee report came back on one of my papers. The referee still hates it.

Perhaps I should start looking into alternative career paths. Suggestions?
