Let’s talk about career rejection and how to cope with it.

I get asked a lot about my career journey but I’ve realised I never mention all the times I’ve been rejected from roles and opportunities that I really wanted. So in the video below, I’ve opened up about just one time I was rejected, and it hurt! 😂

Have you suffered a rejection recently that really hurt? Did you get rejected from a role or interview you really wanted? These rejections are a blow at the time and can make you lose sight of your goals and what you are striving for. However, it’s important to never let rejection bring you down.
