Anyone who has gone through a
job search can tell you that rejection is par for the course. Even
the most skilled professionals have failed more than once. And even
perfect candidates can lose out on a job because of something
outside of their control.
One
of the keys to a successful job search is to maintain positivity
and perspective in the face of regular rejection. To do this, you
need to be vulnerable, share your feelings, and lean on your
support network to maintain your confidence and keep moving forward
toward bigger and better things. On this episode of
Find Your Dream
Job, we welcomed our
first African female guest, author and career coach Añuli
Ola-Olaniyi! Añuli explains how to manage failure in your job
search and turn rejection into a learning opportunity.
