Job Search Quotes of the Week

Today, I am using both a quote and very short post in my "quotes of the week" regarding job search.  I think you will find both useful:

I was REJECTED for an internal position I applied for even though I was the top candidate. I later learned the person hired was a friend of my boss. I got tired of the office politics and started applying to other companies, and within 3 months I got a much better job. My old boss asked me to come back for the same promotion. I told him "thanks but no thanks."

Lessons learned:
1. You can be the best candidate and still not get selected.
2. If you didn't get the job, it was never meant for you.
3. You weren't rejected, you were redirected.
4. "Your value does not decrease based upon someone's inability to see your worth."
5. Believe in yourself and keep trying, the right door will open for you.

Job Search Quotes of the Week

People tend to say things like, I’ll die if (they reject me/I don’t get this deal, he/she says no to me, etc.) But you won’t. People don’t die from these things. In fact, the opposite is true—we don’t die, we get stronger when these things happen."

"You will fail at some point in your life. Accept it. You will lose.  You will embarrass yourself. You will suck at something. There is no doubt about it. That’s probably not a traditional message for a graduation ceremony.  But, hey, I’m telling you—embrace it. Because it’s inevitable. Every graduate here today has the training and the talent to succeed. But do you have guts to fail?"
