Here's how you can overcome a career setback and make a successful comeback.

When there is an event, it follows with emotions, When we don't acknowledge our emotions, we will never be able to overcome the situation. It's better to acknowledge the emotions and feel what we feel, It might be sad, angry, disappointment or anything, the major part is to get back on track when you feel the emotions.

Clearly define your role and responsibilities with your supervisor. Seek out a mentor within HR to provide guidance and help you navigate the organization. Identify key information sources, processes, and systems used in HR, and ask for training to get up to speed. Make an effort to network and build relationships with HR team members and employees across the company. Recognize that feeling unsure or unqualified is normal, and focus on what you can control. Communicate proactively with your supervisor about scheduling conflicts or competing priorities. With an open and proactive approach, an HR internship can be a valuable learning experience that prepares you for future success in the field.

It is essential that you embrace the foundational element of disassociation of emotions with work. This helps in acknowledging setbacks as a learning and stepping stone to bounce back with greater clarity, resilience and vigor.

Overcoming a career setback and making a successful comeback requires resilience, learning from the experience, setting realistic goals, developing a strategic plan, seeking support, maintaining a positive mindset, taking proactive action, staying flexible and persistent, and celebrating progress along the way. By acknowledging feelings, reflecting on lessons learned, defining clear goals, and taking proactive steps, individuals can bounce back from setbacks and achieve success in their careers.

Facing a career setback can be emotionally challenging. It's crucial to acknowledge and process these emotions instead of ignoring them.

Reflection, introspection and evaluation of what went well and what did not holds a great deal of relevant information that can help you learn and prepare better for the next opportunity so devote time for this activity dis-passionately.

Assessing reality involves taking a clear, objective look at your situation. Identify the setback's causes by reflecting on what happened and why. Seek feedback from trusted colleagues or mentors to gain additional perspectives. Evaluate your current skills, strengths, and weaknesses honestly. Understand market demands and align your assessment with industry trends. Recognize any changes needed in your approach or mindset.

It might be an excellent time to reassess your career and explore new possibilities beyond your previous role. While it's common to look for similar positions in other companies, this situation offers a unique opportunity to consider changes that align more closely with your passions and long-term goals. Use this time to reflect on what truly excites you, whether it's a different industry, a new skill set, or even starting your own business. Embracing this period of transition can lead to fulfilling and meaningful career advancements that you might not have previously considered.

Once you have identified the areas of opportunities, look for ways those could be improved for yourself and others and set goals on practicing how to do it right, attend training and upskilling programs and also measure yourselves with simulations and test runs.

Overcoming a career setback starts with setting clear, achievable goals. Begin by reflecting on your strengths and areas for improvement. Define specific, measurable, and time-bound objectives to guide your progress. Break these goals into smaller, manageable tasks and prioritize them. Set a timeline, such as 30, 60, and 90 days, to track your achievements and adjust as necessary. Stay committed and adaptable, seeking feedback and support from mentors or colleagues. Celebrate small victories to maintain motivation, and continuously evaluate your progress to ensure you're on the right path.

Look for the upskilling opportunities, consult industry experts, mentors on the best ways to acquire those skills and work around investing in acquiring those.

Networking can help gain immense insights on similar work, projects and activities and help you learn diversity of ways and perspectives thereby exposing you to best practices.

Mais do que Resiliência, gosto de considerar a visão definida por Nassim Taleb como Antifragilidade. Em momentos incertos ou mesmo caóticos na carreira, é importante se fortalecer a partir dos choques, dando significados a cada dificuldade e buscando aprender diante de cada adversidade. Esse olhar genuíno certamente vai fortalecer as capacidades (no momento fragilizadas) para entrar em novas experiências com maior maturidade e repertório.

Resilience can best be learned in though situations. A first step is to accept what happened to you, aknowlege it when ever possible towards a trusted person and then and there decided to "dance" with all your negative feelings. Resilience is forged in the fire. The faster and clearer you can formulate what is going on with your thoughts and feelings the better you can communicate first to yourself what the next step out of this miserable place is! I do that all the time with entrepreneurs who go through a tough time! And I did it of course several times when I thought that all my dedication to my work was in vain! We never know if the possible setback is a really one until we can put the dots together after some time has past!
