Considering that many people are being forced to find new jobs and employers will be more selective, I thought it helpful to provide resources on the mental backlash of rejection, which can apply to any form of rejection.

To simplify things, I’d like to summarize and reference a well-written Forbes Coaches Council article. 15 Motivating Tips for Job Hunters Facing Constant Rejection, published on April 15, 2020. Here’s the link to the full article. https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2020/04/15/15-motivating-tips-for-job-hunters-facing-constant-rejection/#df85f036b426

The 15 tips are:

Keep your focus
Don’t take ‘no ‘personally
Adopt a learning mindset
Find your confident calm
Get clear on your vision
Destroy your projections and expectations
Deploy various search strategies
Cultivate a ‘no means next’ mindset
Find an online workshop with a structure
Consider spiritual intelligence exercises
Design your dream job
Socialize and contribute
Associate with positive influencers
Take time for self-care
Seek relevant data on the issue

I recommend spending a few minutes each day, tackling a few of these. I would even journal them so that you can reflect later and test which ones worked for you, retrospectively. As I mentioned, these are life skills and mindsets that can help you heal through all types of devastations in life! Let me know if any of them work for you by sharing on Facebook or Instagram!
