Answer 2

Rejection isnt easy for anyone to handle. You have to start seeing things totally different. Its a dog eat dog world....there are so many people applying for the same things, so you have to get it right out of your head that it is personal....You are not being rejected as a person, it is just the way things are and the competition is huge. The Law of Averages does work....I guarantee it. Just apply and keep on applying and you will eventually get whatever it is you want. You cannot give up. I knew this woman, and she is a perfect example of what I am talking about. Very highly qualified highly skilled woman...fantastic personality. You name it she had it. Do you know how many jobs she applied for before she actually got a job. One hundred times she applied....she didnt give up, she said to herself this is not a reflection of who I am...she pushed the personal stuff to the back of her mind and just concentrated on what she wanted. A hundred times, thats absolutely incredible, but its true. When she finally got this job, she rose through the ranks really quickly and was virtually running the organisation within 6 months....thats how skillfull this woman was. Just keep on applying and the law of averages will definitely see you get what you want. If you give up and take it personally then you will never get what you want. You have to start somewhere and once people see how good you are, you will succeed and continue to succeed. This woman I am talking about started small and within a very short time indeed her skills were recognised, and she soon outgrew this organisation...she is now working as a high ranking executive in a multi million dollar firm. If she gave up, she would still be sitting at home wondering why she didnt get the position she applied for.

Chin up, you will get there......eventually.

Answer 3

you know the best thing about butting your head against a birck wall is how good it feels when you stop.

accept that not everything you want is going to be possible.

if you really feel you are well suited to someting and you keep getting rejected then find out why you are not getting it. for instance if you want to work in a particular industry but cant get the job you want talk to people in the industry. find out what is expected. if you need more experience or more qualifications to get into the industry work out a way to get that. Perhaps you can experience by volunteering your service to a charity organisation there are lots of charities that do lots of different things where skills in everything from computers to mecanics from people skills to office skills are needed.

if you are applying for entry to courses and not getting them ring the institution and ask them why you did not get in. then fix the problem.

whatever it is that you are not getting talk to people in that field and find out why you are not getting it. Perhaps you are not reallysuited to the work you want or the course you want to do... in which case you need to reassess your skills and knowledge honestly and make a plan to either gain more skills or knowledge or take another path.

I was living in a place I was not really happy and I kept aplying for jobs and could not get one... I moved to a place I was happier and my whole life has changed for the better.... all along I wanted to live where I am now living but it was not until I did the move that I got what I wanted. Sometimes blocks happen to us that seem immovable because we are not doing what it is we really want to do.
