Thats the story of the Nigerian dream,if you are not connected,I mean strong hand and leg connection,just go do something else with your life,those juicy jobs are reserved for the rich privileged kids only. My close friend just got employed by a pension fund company,it was her mum that pulled all the strings behind the scene,it took time though due to other candidates with their own connections,but her mum really pushed it very well with her contacts in that industry,I'm glad for her though. |

World has not crashed. Simply move on and believe in better days ahead. Don't too believe in your certificate. There are many under graduates, drop outs that are self made. Try to employ yourself if you can. That's the best if you ask me. Once there's life, there's always hope. Move on. Cheers. |

Morning, it is a pain you have to go through to appreciate the good times ahead. I myself received so many rejections, to the Lord be the glory, the one interview I went for, I was told even before the interview ended that I was by far the best candidate so far and got the job. Take time to cope with the pain of the rejection but you must timebox it. Once that period of "mourning" is over, be positive and get back on the horse. |

It marvels me that in this century lot of graduates still make use of olden days CV format. Listen. If you are not serious with job hunting, it will show on your CV. Have you Ever tried giving your CV a nice modern look. Trust me. Out of 20 companies you submit it, atleast 12 will call you for interview. Getting the job is now what you give in. In my years of joblessness (7years) I have never gotten any interview invite from big companies until I utilised the modern CV format. Behold NNPC called me, Dangote cement called me for top position interview although I failed the interview, I atleast was happy. Being invited for interview is the first and opportunity step |

Talking from Experience sha, I was rejected also a couple of times before I got my big break that changed my life. So I believe something better is coming your way. There's always a rain before the storm. |

Bad strategy. Choose your best 2 positions per week and do a good job of matching your skill set to the requirements of the job. If you send in too many you are unlikely to do a good job with the application. It’s quality over quantity and May God reward you soon. When you attend interviews always reflect and research your understanding of the questions and if there is an opportunity for feedback then get it so that you get better with the interviews. radiolover: |

Try to find something doing of your own - no matter how little, this will help you remove your sense of self worth from an external locus of control. |

radiolover:When it seems darkest, hold on a little longer for the first light of dawn. A bend in the road is not the end of the road, don't make the bend ur end. Remain positive and hopeful. Positive...very important. Just keep on doing what u re doing with positivity and hope. Resist the urge to allow depression and complaints dampen ur positivity. |

Comfort, no.. Resolve to push on, yes. David encouraged himself in the Lord his God when he was in a seemingly hopeless situation and he emerged victorious.. do likewise! Have faith.. but then again, faith without obedience is a waste of effort.. forsake sin and become born again.. Jesus is the key to your breakthrough! Shalom! |
| Re: How Does One Comfort Self After Receiving 3 Job Rejections In One Week? by Swanberry: 12:01pm On Jul 08, 2023 |
Move on And most importantly find something doing, Think outside the box and you will discover It’s in you All the best |

radiolover:You go again. While at it, look inward and find problem that you can be a solution to in your environment. Unemployment rate is high in Nigeria, the probability of getting a NO will always be on the high side |

radiolover:Please don't let that weigh you down, just have it at the back of your mind that God is preparing a better one for you. Pick yourself up, go for it again, have faith that you will get it. Then check proper body languages in interview which might be of help. Hope to hear your good news soon, all the best. |

radiolover:"We regret" letters often come before "we are happy to inform you" letters. Only a few people side step the regret letter. Getting 3 in a week means you are doing something right. Hang in there. Keep applying. I will review your CV free of charge and help you with cover letter if you didn't go for interview for any of the 3 cases. Chin up!

radiolover:It depends on a lot of factors like: 1. what u have flair for 2. What is in demand 3. amount of time/resources you can dedicate into acquiring new skills Try your hands on: 1. Coding (Web/App Design) - html/css/javascript 2. Motion Graphics & Animation - 3. Social Media Marketting 4. Copy writing 5. Video Editing All of which, there are video tutorials online that can teach u 80% of it . It takes time though but its achievable. We have gone past the era of "Go to school, get good grades then get a good job", into the era of "what can u do with your hands and your coconut head". Even me, that i'm employed, i still do side jobs to augment what i earn so, try your hands on any of these fields listed above. To know what recruiters/employers/clients need or skill they want, check job sites like indeed and check for keywords like "animator", "motion design" "video editor" "web developer" "javascript developer" etc |

Not much to offer. However, I say a prayer for you, that the Lord comforts you and that for the pain you feel with these rejections, you shall have equal and opposite joy for the future that will open up for you. This I pray in Christ's name and power. PonziHater |
