Don't feel sad when you are rejected in a job interview. Here are things you can do to keep up your job search.

No matter how hard you prepare for a job interview, sometimes, you just don’t get the job you really want to have. Rejection could be a frustrating experience especially if it has happened more than once.

But when this happen, you don’t have to resign to fate or think some village people are working against your chances. You don’t have to get demoralized and stop your job search.

As a matter of fact, rejection can actually help you prepare better for your next job interview and that is, if you take the time to learn from it.
The following tips can help you move one after getting rejected in a job interview.

1. Don’t take it personally

Hiring managers have a duty to either accept or reject a candidate in the interest of the company they work for. If you get a no from them, don’t say they reject you because they don’t like your face. Don’t get angry with them or with yourself. Don’t also let frustration set in. Instead, take time to process your emotion. If you’re feeling troubled about it, talk to someone, may be a friend or your mentor.

2. Ask for feedback

When you get a no from a hiring manager, you can ask him/her why you didn’t get the job. There may have been forces outside your control. For example, the company might have decided to promote someone to fill the role.

The management might have also decided not to hire for the position again.
On the flip side, you might be the reason you were not employed. You might have been rejected because your skills didn’t match the job requirements or you’re not culturally fit for the organization. Knowing the reasons you’re overlooked helps you identify where the areas you need to develop yourself and prepare better for another interview.

3. Volunteer

Volunteering can help you build your confidence and improve your skillsets and ability to work with others. Instead of getting frustrated and losing hope, volunteering helps you see how much you’re valued and at the same time add depth to your resume.

4. Keep up the search

Never let the frustration that sometimes comes with job search stop you from searching. The sooner you get back searching after a rejection the sooner you get the job you are looking for.

1. Take it personal: Yes of course! We are on the same page. It ain't the firm that rejected me, it's one of their goddamn forsaken wimp called 'hiring/firing manager'. Take it personal with this man/woman and you'll surely not just excel but flourish. Make sure your aim will be to surpass that hiring/firing manager that rejected you.

2. Don't ask for feedback: Why the hell will you ask for feedback from someone who said you ain't man enough? The only feedback should be a punch on his/her face/nyash.

3. Don't volunteer: Why will you volunteer for free when they have the bar to sort you? So they don't have vacancy for an accountant but they want you to volunteer as an accountant. Use your head.

4. Don't keep up the search: stop searching and join us here, let's gist in general section, romance in romance section, vote and analyze in politics section; finally we travel for holidays in travel section. Oh! Don't forget what we can do in the car, health and sport section.

Piss!

Damnnnnn niggarrr

Better days are coming
Don't give up
The journey of a thousand kilometres begin with a step
Slow and steady wins the race

If you are a real niggarrr like me then i will advise you to always smoke weed, bang enough pussies, and drink enough beer as you continue to search for that dream job

You see those three things they prevent frustration and depression

Especially the volunteer part

Nigerians being Nigerian; that volunteer part may be abused undecided
And leave the employee worse off

Let's not deceive ourselves. There are no jobs in Nigeria, this post is irrelevant. it's only the banking sector that is helping matters and they pay peanuts compared to ur daily task. If you want to be rich, keep your certificate and pride and embrace business. You will thank me later. Talking from experience
