Don’t try to rationalize away the sting of being rejected. Turned down for the job? Didn’t get the interview? Lost the position to someone you believe to be a less qualified candidate? Don’t let your worth be defined by others... Even though it smarts, get right back in the hunt. Rejection is not a permanent condition; it’s a just short-term setback. Examine your attitude and eliminate any negativity. When confronted with a challenging situation, what do you tell yourself? “I’m not good enough... I don’t have enough experience... I don’t have enough education . . . this is too hard a change for me . . . I’ll never make it . . .?” Don’t let your negative mental-talk sabotage your positive attitude.
Identify your credible fears. Exactly whom do you fear and why? What do you believe might go wrong? Who has the power to reject you? Why would that person say no? Finding the answers to these questions will help you prepare yourself to face your fears head on and preserve your self control, as well as help you to be prepared for the next interview.
Become more self-assured. Most fears of rejection rest on a person’s desire to have approval from other people. Don’t base your self-worth on others opinions.
Analyze what went wrong but don’t wallow in every failure. As written by James Joyce, “Mistakes are the portals of discovery”. Failure is a situation all of us experience in our life at one time or another. It’s how we react to those failures that differentiate winners from losers.
