This man finally got a job at Google after being rejected 39 times, this is the viral story
This is a story about a man who never stopped trying, and we can all learn something from him.
Tyler Cohen is the epitome of perseverance, with an unyielding spirit, an enterprising person whom he refers to as “madness”. Want to know who Tyler Cohen is? Started applying in 2019 and was elected in 2022
He applied at the tech giant — Google not once or twice but 39 times.
He has shared screenshots of all his email communications with Google, and the last one was on July 19 when he landed the job.
Cohen lives in San Francisco in the US and worked as Associate Manager – Strategy & Ops at DoorDash before being offered the position by Google.
In his trail of letters, to and from Google, it is seen that he applied to Google for the first time on August 25, 2019.
However, he was rejected.
Then, he applied twice in September 2019. He was rejected twice.
He took a break and proceeded to apply again in June 2020 during the pandemic but was always rejected until July 19, 2022 when he was selected by the top employers. His Linkedin post is now viral
“There’s a fine line between persistence and insanity. I’m still trying to figure out which one I have. 39 rejections, 1 acceptance,” he said in a brief LinkedIn post, which is now going viral.
The guy has added creative hashtags like #acceptedoffer, #application, etc. Nearly 35,000 people liked the post, and nearly 800 users have commented on it.

Google even replied to the thread: What a trip, Tyler! It’s about time.” And, the company was immediately rewarded for “having an “amazing social media team” willing to comment on the post.
Google, however, mentioned earlier that it has plans to slow down hiring for the rest of 2022 in the face of a potential economic recession, CEO Sundar Pichai saying that the company will focus on hiring “technical, technical and other critical roles” in 2022 and 2023.
