Desert,

As many have said, do not give up. Many of us, including myself, worked our butts off to get where we currently are. There are many more out there trying.

I've sat on previous interview panels and could tell in the first five minutes when I knew someone worked their butt off to get where they wanted to be. You'll be no exception and it will show up in positive light when you step in front of that Alaska interview team. Keep plugging away.
