How to handle rejection when interviewing

Publish Date: Aug 19 '20

If you’ve faced several rejections so far in your job search, it can be easy to feel dejected and disheartened. Here are some suggestions that helped me a lot in the past:

  1. Remember: it’s not only about you! If you’ve prepared fully and tried your best, there’s little else you could have done.
  2. Rejection is not feedback. Don’t just assume that everything you’ve done was wrong. Ask politely for a feedback if you feel so.
  3. You just learned something new. Even rejection is a lesson, remember this!
  4. And now try again!!! Next time you might score your next perfect job!
