Coping With Rejection In Your Job Hunt
better you’ll handle it.
In dealing with rejections, and keep the following in mind:
It isn’t all or nothing. If you don’t get this particular job, it doesn’t make you a failure. It just means there’s a different job out there that the universe has in mind.
Depersonalize the interview. The interview has nothing to do with you as a person, and the interviewers are only doing their job by asking the hard questions. If you feel you didn’t ace the interview, focus on what you can do better next time.
Don’t live in past mistakes. When you dredge up past job interview failures, your nervous system kicks in and you experience all the feelings that go with that sense of failure. Don’t drain your confidence when you’re going after a new job prospect – you’ll underestimate yourself and your ability to get the job.
