We tend to get so excited when we apply for a job. We are even more thrilled when called for an interview because then we are able to prove ourselves and show how much value we can bring to the table. There you are with the interviewer and all he\u2019s doing is praising you for a good CV and excellent scores in your tests. You are told to wait for feedback in a few days and you\u2019re already excited about what\u2019s to come. When you get feedback, it\u2019s a job rejection email. A rejection email can be disappointing especially if it is one of those standard rejection letters that do not delve into the reason for the rejection.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can be a very stressful situation that if not handled properly, can lead to a loss of self-confidence. Most of us apply for so many jobs before we land our dream job. It\u2019s usually so disappointing when you constantly apply and you never get it. Your CV and cover letter are all updated and your grades are also perfect. It\u2019s important not to take rejection personally as it\u2019s a stepping stone to greater things.<\/span><\/p>\n
