Rejection and job searching go hand in hand. As a writer, I can tell you
something about disappointment.
I had enough "reject" slips from New York publishers to start a bonfire.
Then one day, an editor said, "Yes,"
and my world was drastically transformed.
Ken Taylor began re-writing the Bible in a contemporary translation and had
more than 60 rejections.
He finally decided to self-publish "The Living Bible" and it became one of
the greatest best-sellers in
publishing history.
If you're qualified for a particular job, never stop interviewing -- even
if you return to the
same companies five or six times. Meanwhile, you need to accept an interim
position to keep yourself
gainfully employed. When you add lack of funds to job rejection, it's a
double-whammy.
Never overlook working for a "temporary" employment agency. It gives you a
chance to
demonstrate your skills to a number of companies and can open some exciting
doors.
As a last resort, start free-lancing your skills. Who knows? You may wind
up with your own
business and be your own boss!
