Keep in mind that it happens to almost everyone at some point in their professional career to be between two jobs. Even if the big door is closed on an excellent opportunity that you had wanted, you still have a valuable role to play. A job interview rejection is also a learning opportunity.

So what does a rejection at your job interview mean?

It means you might have to take on a different role or learn a different set of skills. You may have to communicate more than with your counterpart. Or you may have to be more creative in how you present yourself to your future employer.

What do you do if you have problems with rejections at job interviews? One of the first things you can do is to acknowledge that you have had a bumpy experience.

Rejection is only part of the interview process. When you are asked to attend a job interview, don’t let any rejection put you off. Instead, think of it as an opportunity to learn and get better at applying for jobs. Develop a positive mindset before your interview, keep a positive attitude even in difficult situations, and apply for more jobs than you otherwise would.
