You’ve seen these books, right? There is now a series of “Chicken Soup” books, but that wasn’t always the case. Jack Canfield reportedly got 144 rejection letters before he finally got a yes.
And the rest is publishing history.
I hope you don’t get 144 rejections before you find your job, but rejection is part of the process.
It never feels good.
So what can you do?
- Ask if an employer who rejected you will offer some feedback, and keep what they say in mind.
- Ask networking contacts for feedback, including what they know about you and what they know about employers you are targeting.
- Continue to work your plan, every day, recognizing that you are taking steps that are within your control.
- If you have difficulties that impact your health, seek help.
