One meets the hard realities of life when one is in the open world hunting for jobs. When we are rejected we feel deserted and stressed. The truth is take each rejection as a new opportunity as you learn from your failures and surge ahead to find new ways. Here are a few tips to deal with rejection from a job.
Ask for feedback
Although job rejection may cause you to feel disappointed and be a reason for setback in your efforts, but you can still get something good from each of your experience. At the end of any interview you are given the opportunity to ask questions. Never take that time lightly. Ask them if they liked your skills and what is their feedback. Some managers may be very straight forward and they may highlight what they did not like about you. Take these things seriously and work for the same. These feedbacks will be very useful for you to prepare for your coming endeavors.
Don’t bring up the past
The worst thing you can do is to count your past rejections and then agonize yourself with them. Let the bygones be the bygones, hope for a better future and live in present. There is no use of dwelling into past, that will only add to your rejection woes and will do harm more than anything else. Remember one thing, don’t let your past rejections go waste, take positives out of it and strengthen the areas due to which you have been rejected in the past.
Accept the reality & keep it in perspective
You can be a master of some fields and not the others. If you have faced too many rejections trying something that is probably not your cup of tea then it is time you give it up. There is no harm in taking a small break and accessing what your real strengths are. You can consult a consultant who may help you out. Accept your weakness and work for your strengths. The process may take some time in the beginning but the end result will always be a highly favorable path for your career and destination in life.
