4 Tips to Getting Past Job Search Rejection

Kenya jobs,

“I have been applying for jobs left, right and center, but I’ve not even secured an interview. I get silence or regret at best in the countable interviews I’ve been to”, complains a job search candidate. I believe he is not alone as this is something I hear time after time from candidates.

The CVs you’ve been sending have dampened your job search morale, which should not be the case. We are going to share some tips on how to get past job search rejection and boost that morale back.

Here are 4 tips for getting past job search rejection

1. Have your CV professionally written

If you are applying for jobs and all you get is zero feedback or regrets, you need to seek out professional CV writing services. This will help you learn what factors may be keeping you in the recycle bin. “Is your CV professionally written? Is it worded properly? Does it bring out your skills and achievements?” questions Carolyne Kariuki, a recruitment manager at Corporate Staffing Services.

A recruiter does not have the time to go through your CV looking for these details. If they can’t be easily identified, your application is binned, says Carolyne. Get professional CV writing services to be sure that your application will make it to stage two.

2. Apply for the right jobs

Just because you are desperate to get a job does not mean you go about applying for the first job you see that you match just two qualifications. “I have seen so many candidates applying for jobs they don’t qualify with intentions to try their luck. Someone in IT applying for jobs in finance, that will not help your job search”, says Carolyne.

If you fall in this group, then you know why your applications have been going unanswered. Go for jobs that match your skill set and qualifications and you will be sure to get the recruiting manager’s attention, advises Carolyne.

3. Seek interview coaching services

The few interviews you have been able to secure have not made you proud. Have you ever left an interview room and felt like all you did was make a fool of yourself? Or that you had given it your best, only not to hear anything or get a regret at most?. Your interview skills are letting you down in a big way.

“Interview coaching helps you identify your shortcomings in a less stressed environment, where you have access to constructive feedback”, says Melody Mwendwa, Interview Coaching Manager at Corporate Staffing Services. She says that she has seen the successes of interview coaching as people she has coached have gone beyond the boardroom and secured a desk in the organization they are applying. You can go past the job search rejection by working on your interview skills with a professional.

4. Reevaluate your perspective

Take time out of the job search and relax. Job search rejection can leave you feeling angry and frustrated and if you keep doing the same thing over and over, in the same way, expecting different results, then you need to reevaluate our job search and personal perspective.

“Vent and express your frustrations the best way that works for you. For example, a night out with friends, listening to music or talking to a friend”, advises Interview Coach Manager Melody Mwendwa. Evaluate how you have been doing things and come up with a new perspective and strategy to approach your job search. A clear and fresh perspective will get you past that job search rejection you are experiencing.

We know rejection is never easy, but finding a way of dealing with it is the right way to go. Follow the 4 steps and you will be sure to get past the rejection phase, move to the boardroom for interviews and finally secure a desk in your dream company.
