Always Have Plan B
Job searching process is very much like dating, as most of us have come across some sort of rejection in life. It’s not surprising that many psychologists claim that job rejection may lead a person to depression as if he or she was jilted by a potential lover. You may agree or disagree, but the job rejection can be forgotten and gone through much faster than a failed relationship.
If you face job rejection for a long time it can be really hard to keep being positive and not lose your heart. You should understand that a job interview can’t measure your professional worth. Hiring process varies from company to company, so if you didn’t make it to the next round doesn’t mean you are not qualified enough for this job. In other words, don’t pursue one opportunity and one certain job. It’s smart to have plan B and use multiple choices of finding a job in order to avoid depression.
Ask for Feedback
Most recruiters usually refrain from giving a feedback if the candidate didn’t get the job. However, there is nothing bad if you ask to give you a constructive feedback. This will not only remove all doubts concerning why they didn’t offer you a job but also help you notice your weak sides and work towards improvement.
Even if you got rejected and failed at the interview, accept that you probably weren’t the best applicant for that job. It may be much easier to blame everybody and everything around and not willing to pay attention to your own failures. Instead, do everything in your power to improve and develop if you want to achieve success.
You should accept the reality of life as it isn’t perfect and you will never get everything you want at once. Work hard and keep doing small steps forward towards your future successful career.
