LinkedIn Expert | Certified Personal Brand Strategist??I help coaches and consultants build powerful personal brands through LinkedIn??Featured 3x on Forbes, Entrepreneur Media, Marketing In Asia
???????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ????.?? In 2014, I fell in love with #LinkedIn. In 2015, for the first time, I spent a huge amount of time writing a cover letter and polishing my resume. With much hope, I applied at LinkedIn SG. For some reason, I felt it was for me.?? In March 3, 2015, I got the news. "Thank you for your interest ... we decided not to move forward with your application." I kept the heartbreak to myself. While I was in denial stage, a lot of depressing thoughts ran through my head: Was I not good enough? Is my enthusiasm not enough to at least get an interview? When I finally accepted it, I thought it could have been a blessing in disguise as I didn't have to leave my family here in PH for a job abroad just to pursue this path (sour-graping?). Fast-forward to today—as an independent LinkedIn consultant, all I do is help others leverage LinkedIn for career or business success. I'm forever grateful to LinkedIn for providing a platform that has helped me discover what I really wanted to do in life—that even if I get rejected for it, I'd go for it no matter what. If you're in a similar journey, remember what Napoleon Hill said: "Every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit." | Follow me: Virginia Bautista | #reflection
We live on our ambitions and always we are aiming for a better future. But on our ways to reach that we do pray to god on guiding us. Then in failure I do believe always that it is not meant for me. Obstacle in life is learning and giving us lessons to be more strong in all points specially on decission making. Thanks on sharing??
Such wisdom you have shown in there, knowing in your fullness there is always the better path for you; rejection is part and parcel of growing graciously and setbacks are nothing but temporary. Already there, but not yet really. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your journey.
