Handling rejection after
interviews
1.
You got rejected because you tried: failure is not sending in the
application
2.
Getting rejected is only testing the waters
3.
Apply for more jobs—even jobs that don’t seem ideal. Practice
makes perfect as they say
4.
Not one person gets every job they apply for
5.
Each rejection brings you closer to a ‘yes’
6.
Always get feedback and act on it if you can: what can you do
next time? What needs of a potential employer can you anticipate?
7.
Keep looking at your list of skills and believing in them
8.
Rejection takes you out of your comfort zone: it polishes you like
a rough diamond into a sparkly new you!
9.
It’s not about you—it’s about the employer. You are still you. You
still have all your skills and ability. And potential.
10. Remember all the famous people who were laughed at and
rejected: J K Rowling had at least 8 rejections before the first
Harry Potter book was published; Beethoven was deemed a
hopeless composer by his teacher; Fred Astaire was described as
‘Balding, skinny … can dance a little’ …
