These days, you may encounter many rejections during your job search.
Often, jobs go to insiders. You probably won’t know why you were not selected unless you are working with a recruiter who can find out and share that information with you.
At times like this, it is important to take care of your personal well-being and keep your hunt on track by following these tips.
Steps to Take for Your Personal Well-Being
- Face your feelings. Getting turned down may trigger difficult emotions such as anger or anxiety. Figure out what troubles you most. It might be mainly economic pressures or doubts about your abilities. This will guide you to the individual solutions you need.
- Seek support. Talk to other job seekers. You may wind up exchanging valuable leads while you help each other feel better. Let family and friends know exactly how they can help you. Find strength in your spiritual practices.
- Exercise regularly. A good workout fights stress and pain. If a gym membership is too expensive, take a walk or use free exercise apps.
- Manage stress. There are many constructive ways to deal with the pressures of unemployment. Breathe deeply, listen to instrumental music, or focus on helping others.
- View the interview positively. All interviews are practice runs. Take the time to debrief yourself – what you did well and what you think needs improvement. Every interview prepares you for the next one. In addition, interviews are for you to decide if you like the company and the job. You may be the one who is rejecting them.
