Sometimes in the job search, we will hear “no”. How do you handle rejection? This is how Lou Tice of the Pacific Institute sees it…
Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - 4/4/11 - "Dealing with Rejection"
How good are you at handling rejection?
If your answer is, "Not good at all," or "Not very," you
will want to pay special attention to the following.
One of the most powerful words in any language is the word that means, "No." Most adults can't handle hearing it, and as a result of their fear of "No," they limit themselves in just about every way I can think of. How many times have you wanted to talk to someone, but decided not to do it because they might not respond positively? How many jobs have you not tried for because you were afraid they wouldn't hire you? How many times have you kept yourself from growing because you believed you might fail?
All of these self-created limits are the result of fear of rejection - fear of the little word, "No."
But there are no real successes without
rejection. Ask anyone, who has ever succeeded in life, how many times they
failed, how many times someone said, "No way" to them, and how many
times they kept right on going. You see, the more rejection you encounter, the
stronger you become - if you're on the road to success. You look at setbacks as
temporary and you bounce back every time you take a hit.
