5 Things To Do After Job Interview Rejection
Come Recommended: The phone rang; the letter came. You didn’t get the job. And you thought you nailed that interview…or maybe it didn’t go so well after all.
Hey, don’t let it get you down!
I totally agree with all of the advice that is given in this article. Not landing a job is really hard, but I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Maybe this company was not for you. I have a lot of personal discovery in going through some of the things on this list. Having done those, I can truthfully say that I now feel more prepared to apply to jobs.
Not getting the job you had your heart set on is definitely not fun, but this article brings up the good point that not getting the job shouldn't be the end of your relationship with the company or the person you interviewed with. Being gracious and accepting that you didn't get a job is an important skill because odds are it will happen at some point, if not often, in your career. Keeping in touch could land you another similar job in the future and asking for feedback about how you did in the interview can help you increase your chances of landing a job in the future. The tips this article gives aren't necessarily easy but are very helpful.
