You're feeling discouraged after job rejections. How can you overcome self-doubt in your job search?

Staying proactive and optimistic can turn rejections into stepping stones toward success. ➡My client Arjun faced multiple rejections but used the feedback to refine his resume and interview skills. ➡He also networked actively and attended workshops to enhance his abilities. By viewing each rejection as a learning opportunity rather than a setback, Arjun built resilience and eventually secured a position that was a perfect fit for his skills and aspirations.

Conduct an honest assessment of the interview process. If possible review the online advert / JD, and the steps you took to prepare for the interview. Who you spoke with during the interview process, how many stages, and how well the interview actually went. Based on this assessment put a new plan together. Find 1-2 things you might do differently or what you might want to continue doing. Finally, keep going! Remember every rejection is not the end. There could be other opportunities you might be considered for or the next time a job comes up, you could be the person they consider for the next job. I've found that how you respond to rejection and just staying in touch with people could open doors later down the line.

Being rejected for a role doesn't mean you have been rejected from ever working for that company. It may mean for that particular role you were not the right technical fit or some other criteria they were looking for in this person. But you might be a great fit culturally. Behind closed doors, the hiring team could be considering you for other opportunities. I had this myself recently where a candidate was rejected for an Analyst role only to then be considered for a Data Engineer position in a different department. Don't get discouraged because you were rejected by your ideal employer often it could mean you might be considered for another role on another team.

Start to see rejection as redirection. Seek out feedback and use this to move forward in your job search. See each interview as a learning curve and a step closer to finding your perfect role.

Feeling discouraged after job rejections is normal, but you can overcome self-doubt by thinking of rejections as chances to learn and grow. Remind yourself of past successes and seek feedback to improve. Set small, realistic goals to stay motivated and surround yourself with supportive people. Practice stress-relief techniques and keep learning new skills. Network with others to find new opportunities. Stay organized and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Visualize yourself succeeding to boost your confidence and keep moving forward.
