058: How to bounce back from rejection - Reflection on rejection and redirection

How do you deal with job rejection?
How do you deal with job rejection for a position you were 'perfect' for? 

Have you ever been rejected? 

In this episode of the Dive Into Your Career podcast, Gina Visram talks about reflecting on rejection and redirection. 

Even though in the moment, "rejection" (i.e. having your application declined for a role you had applied for, potentially even one you are incredibly excited about and well suited to)... is tough - it is incredibly common. It can be hard on your soul and your spirit until you recognise... accept that it is an integral, unavoidable part of your journey. 

Listen to this episode to discover more about:

• What rejection is
• How common it is 
• Some personal, never shared before personal examples of rejection from Gina who is keen for you to know even when your livelihood is all about supporting others into careers, rejection is still part of the journey
• Practical things you can do if you have not progressed in a job application
• Quotes about redirection, the real theme of this episode (including some welcome reframes)

This is not a theoretical discussion.
