[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 17489, member: 2672"] Rejection is tough. But it is no reflection of each individual nor their abilities. I’ve turned down hundreds (possibly even thousands) of people who have gone on to be successful. In that list includes several CEOs running their own businesses, one of which is a major tech company that’s making massive waves in the sector. It also includes people who’d still be a mid level associate at the firm I recruited for, but are now partners at other firms (yes, I am that old :p). It is just a case of it being either one of or a combination of it not being the right employer, right time, right decision or right career. Remember most people will be unsuccessful - over 95% of applicants are going to be in your position and probably the majority of candidates getting through to the final interview stage will also be unsuccessful. I’ve had more unsuccessful interviews in my career than I have had successful. I am actually now pretty thankful for that vast majority of them turning me down, but hindsight is a wonderful thing.
