How Do You Deal with Job Application Rejection?

Yes, I’m asking you. I know that if not all, almost all of us who experienced being interviewed had also their piece of rejection when it comes to getting the job we want.

The common scenario is like this, you saw the job post then send your resume and suddenly the interview invites came to your inbox.  You were so excited. Prepared for the interview and after the interview the HR sent email to your inbox saying:

 “Thank you for the opportunity to meet with you and discuss your qualifications for the position this position

We understand that you have skills that may indeed be an asset to the company. However, we have concluded that another candidate's qualifications more closely match our requirements. We sincerely regret that we cannot offer you employment with our organization at this time.

We appreciate your interest and the time you have invested and you have our best wishes for success in locating the career opportunity that you deserve.” Looks familiar?

Well, technically rejection letter differs but the bottom line is “You didn't get the job!”

Being rejected will give some people inferiority complex or they will lose self confidence. Let’s face it. Self confidence is very hard to build and having a feeling that you are not qualified enough will tremendously damage your self confidence. It’s not healthy to pity yourself but it’s the only resort some people always cling to whenever they didn't get what they want.

So how do you deal with rejection really?

When it comes to job here’s a few tips:

1. Be positive! The world doesn't end with just one interview rejection and there are lots of jobs out there that will sure fits your qualification.

2. Don’t ever give up! Learning doesn't ends in school. Every day life is teaching us new things. Rejection may be the hardest lesson but come to think of it, you will learn a lot from it.

3. Open your mind to new opportunities and new skills. Every day our technology has something new to offer. Have you ever ask yourself, what it is that you can offer? Learn new things. Update your skills and knowledge. So that the next time an interviewee asks you about your skills they will be amazed!

4. Be creative! Try new media to market your resume. You can try video resume. The good thing about video resume is that you can practice how to face the camera and be confident what skills you have to offer. Also, the best part is, some initial interview will be skipped because you already covered it on your video resume. Isn't it great?

5. The last tip is, apply for the job that either you have passion or experience. Interviewee is a natural psychology. They will sense if you really love to do the job or you’re just applying for the sake of having a job.

                

Jobs You Can Do At Home or Online

Tired of daily routine work? The same routine you have to gone through every single working day? You wake up, groom yourself for work, get stuck on traffic, greet your boss, do your assigned work, mingle with your office mates during office breaks, and all the things that you do during your 8 hours work. Eight long and tiring hours of work.

It’s okay if you have a job that you really love and enjoy. But, What if you get stuck on a job that you hate? You know what I mean right? You have an irate boss, lots of deadlines, and if you are working in a customer service department – irate customers. It’s fine to have a really tough job. But do the toughness being paid off? Is it worth it?

Those are just some of the questions you might ask yourself when you’re not happy with your work anymore or not happy at all. Some of the questions people asked to themselves before they quit their jobs.

Okay, how about if you’re one of the unemployed citizens. You have bills to pay. You got a mouth to feed and everything that regarding to financial issues. What will you do? Yeah, this situation is very frustrating the reasons why many people choose to suffer to jobs they don’t really like at all just for the sake of having a living.

But there are many options that you may choose from, aside from working with a boss or being in the office. I will name the most effective and popular two options. The first one is having your own business that you may run to the comfort of your home and second one, take a freelance online job.

If you were to run your own business isn’t it nice that you don’t have to go to an office where you are just an employee, to have a boss or to have a file of deadlines? You are your own boss. But of course since you are your own boss you have to work hard or else all the money you invested will be put to nothing. Plan your future business very well before you start it. Choose the one that you really like. Or else you might end up hating it too just like having an irate boss.

And the second one is taking a freelance online job. There are tones of freelance jobs online. You can do it in your home as long as you have your own computer and internet connection. You can choose from data entry jobs, customer service, SEO, article writing and many more. But make sure that the job you will work on is from a legit site or company. There are many scammers out there so be careful. Sometimes they’ll ask you to do the job then won’t pay you. So be very careful.

It doesn't matter what your really job is. Whether you’re working in an office or at home neither if you’re salary is good or bad. What matter is as long as the job your doing for a living fits your financial needs and as long as you’re happy working on it, just go and make the best of it. Nobody is perfect. This applies too to everything. Always remember, there is no easy job. The only reason you’ll find it easy is because you’re enjoying it.
