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!

Hello Grads, This is Fratres . Are you ready to enter the job market for the first time? Before you start going out on interviews, consider running a background check on yourself to see what your record looks like. Many recent college grads just entering the job market do so with a feeling of invincibility. It’s not uncommon to feel like the world is your oyster following four successful years at a university—particularly if you were one of the top students in your degree program. But just as the competition got fiercer and the challenges got steeper when you traded your high school halls for a sprawling college campus, things are going to get harder and more competitive once more now that you are looking for full-time employment. As such, if you are going to beat out everyone else that is competing for your dream job, you are going to need to do everything in your power to become the ideal hire. Become the Ideal Hire Unfortunately, becoming the ideal hire is only partially ba...
