This week I broke a bit of bad news to you all. I applied for several internships. All to no avail! When I finally did get called back for an interview, I was told a week later that I didn't get the job. Yeah, after weeks and weeks of hoping and praying just to get rejected, I was feeling pretty bad. But I have a few remedies that might get you through the slump if you happen to be feeling like me.
1. Be Thankful
And by this, I mean send a thank you email. If you were interviewed for the position but did not get the job, let the employer know that you are still a humble human being. It's natural to be disappointed, and they understand, but expressing your gratitude may be enough to set you apart from the crowd. By following up, you may be in the back of their minds. Since you were so nice, they may remember you for future reference and consider you when selecting a candidate for another position. OR... you can make them feel guilty by being so nice that they feel extremely sorry for not hiring a kind soul like you. But don't do it for that reason.
2. Find Something to Keep You Moving
Like a crying baby, the only way to make the feeling go away is to find a distraction. Easier said than done, but it can be put into practice. Distractions can range from finding a new job to picking up a hobby. For me, it's continuing to write for my blog and create new vlogs. As long as I'm thinking about how I can move forward by creating new content, I'm not focused on the feeling I felt when I was rejected. Remember, you can't dwell on the past!
3. Sleep it Off
This may sound a bit trivial, but it worked for me. It's the "time heals all wounds" kind of thing. Yeah, I'm a fan of that. Usually the first emotions you experience are the most extreme, so you never want to act right after something emotionally taxing happens (that means you should probably wait before you send your "thank you" note). Sleep is the express route to letting time go by, so make use of it.
4. Celebrate your Failures
If at first you don't succeed: try, try again! We're always so hard on ourselves, but you may not realize that your failures actually lead to success. Be happy that with each failure, you are learning and growing from that experience. Soon enough, you'll be so well versed that you'll get what you want in no time! Or, your failure may be exactly what you needed to help you discover something new. Think about it: if I did get the job, I wouldn't have as much time to write these blogs that you are reading today! So let's take a deep breath and have a toast with Leo DiCaprio, because we're on our way to success... one rejection at a time.
