I don't take it personally either. But it doesn't help my frustration 😤 level. I'm trying to break into a new industry now , with strong transarable skill. 5 rejections last 3 months. Soul destroying sometimes.
This video has great timing because I got rejected from a publishing apprenticeship after doing the job trial last week and it definitely felt so so personal; I was devastated. I feel like it's been very hard as a graduate to get my foot in the door with the current job market right now, let alone get any experience or internships. Thank you for sharing your experience, it really helps. Hopefully things pick up soon for us publishing hopefuls! 💙
It’s so reassuring to hear from someone who achieved their dream job that rejection is something we all go through! Thanks so much for talking about something so personal Ain 😊
This is such a great video for those struggling at the moment! I've received quite a few rejections during the pandemic but this has given the motivation to keep going!
Really interesting, thanks for sharing your experience! :) That's so true that we don't know the bigger picture when applying for jobs, and it's very easy to take it personally even if it isn't most of the time.
Thank you Flavia! It's difficult not to take it personally, but I honestly believe that if we don't get a job it simply means it was not the right opportunity for us and there's something better just around the corner! 😊
Thanks for sharing - great stuff as usual! Listening to you made me realise how it might actually be fear of rejection that kept me from applying for a new job during the years, even when the perfect opportunity was just within reach! Sei una grande!
Grazie Marta!! ❤ And yes, fear of rejection is so real. Especially for women, men are always more likely to just give it a go than we are (even if they're not qualified enough).
My first ever interview was a week after I finished uni at my dream company Walker Books for a Design Assistant. As an aspiring children's illustrator, I could not have imagined a better place for me. I didn't get through the first phase and was devasted, but looking back I probably wasn't ready for it.
Thank you so much for watching!! Let me know if you found this interesting & if there's anything you'd like me to talk about around publishing/events and career 😊

So many who are less qualified, get a job through connections or backdoor, thats why I dont ever take rejection personally.
A very good point 👍🏻

The rejections I experienced had me back to school and career shift into a different industry.
I'm sorry Christina, they can be so hard. I hope you've found a career that values you 🫶🏻

I'm sorry to hear that Joana! There may be an even better opportunity just around the corner 🤞🏻😊

How it went?
There are so many ageist bosses out there. I have to work until 67. I want my pension and I want it now! I am 60.
