One time I was interviewing for a juicy oil and gas role. I had scaled the first 2 stages and was invited to meet a panel including the CEO to whom I’d be reporting. 66 Likes 8 Shares |

We've come a long way. It was during my project defence in final year. My supervisor then was always in UNN, I was schooling at ASUTECH renamed ANSU (now COOU). You know the normal if you write table of content, bring for approval or disapproval; if you write literature review, bring for approval or disapproval; That was how a Lagos-bred young man from Imo whose parents sent to school in Anambra was just flying up and down and spending excess time in Enugu state on top Project matter. The date was near, this woman kept dutifully rejecting my work upandan, I kept rewriting and re-presenting; sometimes successful, sometimes I will be sent back to drawing board. 2 days to the Monday and Tuesday we will defend (I will defend on Tuesday) and she was still analysing. That's how I took a chance and started typing my work. Even on the day of the defence, I was still typing. My topic was 'Applications of Complex Analysis'. Diagrams and equations took a lot of time even though the other parts were ready. My friend came with his bike to pick me to the venue, when the last person before me was on the podium. I packed my unfinished work, manuscript and everything; clad in my suit I borrowed from a heftier friend at IMSU then, and zoomed off to the room. I had not even stepped in when the supervisor screamed "I did not approve this work o". Like WTF!! I couldn't believe my ears. Was her intention to make me lag behind while others moved on? I approached the panel and explained to them when I started and why I got delayed. They told me to go back to my supervisor. I went back to her, she wouldn't have it. I started pleading. All of this was happening with everyone watching. I was almost losing it; until hope came through with the voice of the HOD who asked if I was confident in what I did. I replied him that every page in this booklet was prepared by me and I don't even need to look at it to remember and he override the supervisor and asked that I present my work then. And present my work, I did. I think I put on a hell of a show but I remembered clearly, the closing remark by one of the lecturers on the audience. He said "I've listened to all defences from yesterday till today but this is the first work I can actually agree that the student did a thorough job. Well done". The applause and chants of my nickname that followed left me grinning from ear to ear. Needless to say, I was asked to tidy up my work and submit for stamping as a formality, but there is no doubt about the grade on the work. 160 Likes 7 Shares |

Well for me, rejection is part of life. Life is all about ups and downs. Successes and failures make up the fabrics of our daily lives. So once I interview for any role and got rejected I see it as a loss to the company or institution and I quickly move on. No hard feelings. 19 Likes 4 Shares |

Hmm. I scaled the aptitude test with flying colors, and was invited for the interview. Position was an assistant lecturer at COE, Ekiadolor, Edo State. We were quite a handful who made it for the interview stage. The requirement for the position stated either B.SC or B.Ed, so with my 2.1 B.SC I felt good to go. Prepared every way 'preparable' and hit the road that morning. Got to my turn for the interview and I went in to face the panel of 5. First question while perusing my documents was "Why don't you have an education qualification? How then will you know the basics of teaching?" I wasn't even allowed to say a word in defense, before I was told to step out of the room. While leaving, I sighted one of the panelists write boldly beside my name "NOT QUALIFIED!" I felt very bad cause I had high hopes for that position, and believed I would have done well if given the opportunity. Coupled with the fact that I travelled all the way from Abuja to Benin the day before for the interview. It is well tho. I've moved on! 46 Likes 4 Shares |

I was poor and my friends who are well placed rejected me based on sentiments. I became rich and accommodated all who helped me and those who had nothing. When God tested me and took away all my money and turned every of my business upside down, they fled and spoke against me in my back. God said to me, He is the one who took away all my wealth so that I can focus and serve Him. Secondly, that I should never trust and follow friends again but to maintain peace with all man but focus more on preaching His word. In the past, REJECTION made me stronger. It made me have a bigger desire to SUCCEED and prove to those who felt I will never succeed that I can actually succeed. Today, I don't feel rejected despite keeping a small circle of believers as friends because I have the SOURCE, and His name is JESUS CHRIST. Make him ur friend today because humans/friends will fail u when u have problems but Jesus Christ NEVER FAILS!!! Psalm 118: 8-9 I Corinthians 1:9 Jesus loves u and wants u to make Him ur friend, who will never reject u or look down on u. Repent and be saved today by accepting Jesus Christ as ur Lord and personal saviour. God bless u all. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

Rejection is not only for jobseekers. As a business man, I have been rejected even after sending invoice and waiting for bank alert. I have found favour in bulk business from even those I have never met before. so I have learnt to move quickly to the next one. no time to cry. I hope for the best and plan for the worst. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Mine happened of lately in school. Due to the naira scarcity I begged this koisk at the other lane of my lounge to help me with cabin biscuits and Garri to sustain myself while I make my last transfer of 1k for her. This woman rejected. She said I must add another 400naira for her to withdraw. I nearly died. This morning while I was going to the campus, the way I looked at her is still a mystery. To be a student is not easy. Useless Access bank still had the effontry to withdraw charges for me this afternoon. I have never be frustrated like yesterday and today. God send me helper. I no get shishi for hand. My helper, I want die for here....😟😟😟😟😟😟😟 14 Likes 1 Share |

It was a recruitment firm around gbagada close to Charley boy junction that played a fast one on me. They were contracted to finalize the recruitment process of one multinational company from USA. I came out top of the list, in my mind I thought I have already gotten the job, unknown to us that the fraudulent firm had another plan. They were grooming another set of job seekers(VIPs i.e those that paid for it) to replace those of us that originally sat for and scaled through the job recruitment test. I learnt about it when I keep going there to know why we have not been contacted with respect to the job, someone there told me about it, he criticized me for not making moves to secure my slot when I first noticed my name was top of the list. It was like a movie to me, it took me months, even a year to get over it and years(I got over it fully when I started my own business) to fully get over it. Thank God for everything. Now, I make whatever they will pay me monthly in a day. 18 Likes 1 Share |

I did apprentice for a fashion designer a.k.a Tailor. After using and abusing me with errands for months without pay. She rejected me after one misunderstanding. Few months later, I got a job with task force union via my uncle connect. One day we were briefed on the buildings that we will mark for demolition and in one of the streets is that tailors shop. I was so happy that I promised my guys to take them out that evening if they help me vandalize and threaten the tailor. Omo revenge dey sweet, we mark her whole shop with paint come damage her front roof. We told others they have 29 days to move out but we told her it's 5 days before we demolish her shop. She was crying begging us the funny thing is she didn't even recognize me until I introduced myself. Omo see begging. That day was too sweet 41 Likes 4 Shares |

rejection is only dificult at the begining of one;s career. Once you start getiing further with offers here and there, few rejections do not hurt anymore. Because you start having the mindset, that if it is met for you, it won't slip 7 Likes |
