Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
– Winston Churchill

One of the hardest things to deal with in your job search is rejection. Statistically, it takes a certain number of contacts before you get an interview, and a certain number of interviews before you get an offer. The number isn’t as important as the idea that you are going to have to go through some ‘no’s before you get to the ‘yes’. I hope this quote encourages you to keep going, and keep trying.

I also want to encourage you to make those statistics work for you, and here’s what I mean: Most job seekers follow a pattern. They apply for a job, get excited about it, and go after it. When that falls through, they go on to the next one. What that does is simply prolong the time you’ll be in the job search. What I encourage you to do is get through those ‘no’s as fast as you can, so you can get to the ‘yes’ that much faster.

I invite you to come to one of my free job search training webinars this week. In many of my webinars, I teach about how to move toward that job you want faster. Get through those ‘no’s, don’t let them drag you down, and get to your ‘yes.’See Weekly Webinar Topics Here.
