I know it sucks, but in this video, I'm going to give you tips on how to overcome job rejection
and go back into your job search with the confidence that you need to land your next

Are you ready?
Let's get started.
But first for all the guidance that you need to get hired, make sure that you give this

job.
I have tons of videos that can help you from interview preparation to prepping your resume
all the way up until today's video, which is about overcoming job rejection.
And I wanna give you the exact steps to do so.
First off, if you are experiencing job rejection, just know that it's a natural part of the
process when you are applying for jobs and looking for that next opportunity.
And it also means that you're taking action, which is a good thing.
Those that don't take action, never fail and never get rejected.
So good on you for applying for that next role for looking for your next best opportunity
and just know that it's a natural step in the process.
I have faced rejection hundreds of times in my life, and that is why I'm able to continue
to push forward because of the lessons that I learned along the way.
So I hope that you can be encouraged to know that a NO is simply a redirection and one
step closer to that Yes.
With that said, let's get into my strategy for overcoming job rejection, with what I
call the four R's, recoup reason, redirect and rise.
Let's look at each in detail.
The first R is to recoup take a moment to take a deep breath, to process your emotions
and to process what has happened before you dive straight back into applying for jobs.
Again, it's important that you take a moment to process and deal with your emotion.
Rejection can often bring with it feelings of hopelessness or maybe negativity.
So you want to take a moment to process your emotions before moving on to the next step,
give yourself some time to recoup.
Number two is to reason every rejection gives you an opportunity to learn a lesson or to
pull something from that rejection.
What is the lesson or the reason as to why you were rejected?
Was it that you maybe didn't tailor your resume to fit the job posting or that your skills
and experience just weren't the right fit for the job that you applied for?
Take some time to evaluate this, because it simply could be a mistake that you made along
the job search process that discounted you for being considered for that opportunity.
If you keep getting rejected over and over, no after no, it might be a good time to reassess
your job search strategy and maybe consult an expert or coach.
It's also important to note that it may not be your fault.
Different companies have unique qualities and skills that they are looking for in candidates,
and they might have been somebody that was just a benefit for that specific role that
does not mean that you are not a great candidate and that you don't have great skills and traits
to bring to the table.
Always remember that from an employer's perspective, they are going to look for the person that's
the best fit in terms of the skills they bring to the table, but also for the culture of
the company, which is the mission and values of the company.
It can sometimes be impossible to know exactly what a company is looking for.
So don't be so hard on yourself if you did all the things you needed to do on your end,
as a candidate, but you still got rejected in the end.
It may just be that you weren't a good fit for what the employer was looking for.
And that's okay.
Reason can also be simply accepting the fact that you got rejected and choosing to move
forward despite that.
Number three is to redirect.
Now that you've taken the time to reason to look at the reasons why you potentially didn't
get the role and consider some of the lessons learned.
It's now time to redirect.
This could mean taking a different approach in your job search.
If the approach you used didn't work, maybe tailoring a resume in a different way, applying
for roles that are more fit for your skills and experience, or even looking for, and hiring
a coach to help you in this process, whatever your redirect strategy is, this allows you
to take a pivot and to keep moving forward.
Remember the quote that says insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting
a different result.
And you don't want to do that if you want to be successful in your job search.
And lastly RISE, keep attacking your job search with confidence, knowing that companies are
still hiring that there are roles that fit your specific skill level and experience that
companies are looking for candidates like you.
And there are so many other opportunities out there for you to take a hold of, to accelerate
toward your career success.
Pick yourself up, send a thank you note to the employer that rejected you.
I know this is tough, but it's a good practice.
Thank the recruiter.
If you are working with the recruiter and then keep going, attack your job search with
the confidence that I know you can bring to the table.
Always remember the only direction after fall is up.
Let me know in the comments, if you've ever experienced rejection of any kind, and if
these tips were helpful.
And so to recap, how to overcome job rejection, number one, recoup, take a moment to process
your emotion, to deal with the rejection before moving forward.
Number two is to reason identify what was the specific area that you could have improved
on in your job search strategy.
Was it better preparing for the interview or tailoring your resume or even hiring a
coach?
Number three is to redirect implement the strategies and lessons learned from your reasoning
and keep moving forward in your job search adjusting as you go.
And then lastly is to rise.
Keep moving forward, strategically and relentlessly until you land your next opportunity.
