JOB SEARCH TIP: The “Chicken Soup for the Soul” author got rejected 144 rejections. Hang in there.

6 Nov

You’ve seen these books, right? There are dozens 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 mental health, seek help.

It’s a new day for you. There’s a employer out there looking for you.
