Career Tip: Handling Rejection

Career Tip: Handling Rejection.

? Handling career rejection is something we learn over time. It helps build resilience and perseverance. Over time, you develop a stronger mindset and the ability to handle rejection more effectively.

1. It is important to know that decisions for a job are more complex behind the scenes. The job you were interviewing for might have..

• gone to an internal candidate
• suited another candidate better
• changed their budgets
• changed the scope based on what the hiring teams see as they start to interview
• Or THAT particular job wasn’t for you

2. Rejection is a personal conquest.

When you shift career rejection from being negative about YOU, into understanding that it is a common part of the professional journey, and while it may be disheartening, it often leads to valuable lessons and opportunities for personal and professional development, this shift is a game changer.

You shouldn't play on the victim mentality, it’s a journey you’re meant to go on, and it is a journey we all go on at some point in our lives.

We don't see it in the moment but some recruitment rejections are some of the best moments in your life which lead you to the right job.

Sometimes you end up lost and sometimes you need that.

Everyone’s story on rejection is different.

So, welcome that rejection.

Let it fuel you.
