How to Deal with “NO:” Moving On From Rejection
Day after day, week after week, even months can go by with another long period of responding to job announcements and getting nothing back. We have all been there. There were moments during my intensive job search, days where I actually hoped for any kind of response from my emailed or uploaded resumes and cover letters – just to see if anyone as much as noticed them!
Feeling isolated? Feeling invisible? This Friday we’ll talk about how to overcome being told “No.” Or even worse, ignored entirely. Hard as it might sound, the key for success is to stay positive to avoid becoming temporarily depressed.
Remember: It really is a game of time and numbers – we’re all going to be employed sooner or later. So in the meantime, let’s talk about how to keep a cool head and a productive job search schedule. We'll even go over a bullet list of objectives to accomplish, provided by Shoreline career and academic advisor, Gwyn Hoffman-Robinson. As always, great coffee and tasty morsels are on hand, compliments of Central Market.
All are welcome to attend. Older workers and community members are included, as well as college students.
