In reply to Handling Rejection, posted by Poet on March 17, 2007, at 13:07:05
Well I'm pretty bad at handling rejection myself but I just wanted to say that anyone who can get 3 interviews has something to be proud of. Not only can it be difficult to get one interview (the stats are something like for every 20 resumes you submit, you'll likely get one interview, if your resume is very good) but the fact you had 3 says something about your skills. I think it is somewhat of a numbers game, if you have connections or a recruiter working for you, that's one thing, but if you are applying through postings or ads, it can be more difficult. When I am rejected for something (jobwise or otherwise) I try to think what I could do differently and try to fake it till I make it, you know what I mean? Try to "act" positive even if I'm not feeling it. And my coping skills are non existent so I don't even think of using any :-)
