There is often the added pressure when you have a family who depends on you. This can be extremely tough when on a job search. Needless to say, the whole process can take a hit to your self-esteem. No one actually likes rejection. It is just I believe that some people handle better than others. However, think of it like this. Don’t stop applying until you get a yes. It only takes one yes to get you out of the situation you are in.
The rejections are tough. Oh so tough! And some recruiters may just waste your time. Perhaps, you have a job and running out of “doctor appointment” excuses. Maybe you are looking for the right opportunity, so it is taking much longer than expected. Whatever the case is – you are not alone.
Listen to podcasts, read articles online do what you can to help prepare for what is coming next whether it is a phone screen or an in-person interview.
I have been trying to break into technology industry – to work for a large technology company. Some of my applications are rejected right away, some are rejected after the video chats – and that’s okay. It has been 3-4 months and no face-to-face interview yet.
Facebook and Google said nope but glad I made it to at least a phone screen and video interview lol
However, I am going to keep researching other companies with good values/missions and keep trying. I refuse to give up on my dreams. I also refuse to be in a place that does not see the value in me. So I will keep trying.
