How To Handle Job Rejection?



Hello guys, This is Fratres and today I'm going to tell you about how can you handle your rejection from one job and how to turn that depression into experience.

Getting rejected from a job opportunity you're excited about can be detrimental to your confidence in your job search. The application and interview stages are usually quite a process and no matter where you are in that process. If you get rejected, it's tough. Many candidates internalize it and this can majorly affect their motivation to jump back into their job search. So how do we overcome Rejection in a job search ?

Reflect on the experience

When you experience a ‘NO’ in your job search, take the opportunity to turn it into a learning experience. Is there anything you wish you would have done differently throughout the hiring process? Did you learn anything about yourself? i.e. interview skills you need to work on, job responsibilities you do or do not want to do. Take what you've learned throughout the process and work on applying that to your next interview experience and become an even stronger candidate. Did the hiring manager give you any feedback? Use that too!

No bridge burning

One of the most difficult things to do when you’ve been rejected by an employer is to move on from the experience and not let it get you down. It’s easy to be angry and bad-mouth the employer, but you want to make sure you’re smart and avoid burning any bridges for future employment opportunities. If the company took time to interview you and included you in their pool of candidates, they saw you as a viable option and could possibly consider you again if the position opens. You could also potentially reach back out to the connections you made for networking purposes.

Fuel the fire
Your natural instinct might be to give up and lose momentum, don’t do this! Use the rejection from the opportunity and let it motivate you even more! As mentioned before, use this as a learning experience to become the best candidate you can be. Get back out there and don’t let one or even a few rejections get you down, your perfect opportunity could be on it’s way.Getting turned down by an opportunity you were excited about is tough no matter what but if you handle it in the right way, it can end up benefiting you in the long run!

Things to Do on Your First Day at Job

Hello guys!  This is  Fratres  and today I'm going to talk about the things that you should do if you're going on the job for the first time or even if you're shifting your job with a new one. There are some things that you should do on the first day of every new job. So here we go, 1- Describe Success In Your Role: The key to doing an amazing job is knowing exactly what's expected from you. There is no better time to find out just what that is than on your very first day. Ask your boss how your success will be measured and over what time frame. Without context and expectations you will have no clue to deliver, the time required to come up to speed and the resources you will need to deploy to achieve success productively and efficiently. 2- Seek Out the Right Reading Material:   Immerse yourself in reading all that you can about the company's culture and norms old newsletters, articles, decks, org charts etc. These types of documents can give you a decent p...
