1.How to get a job... sooner or later!Good morning everyone! Well, let’s start our third and last day of training about job hunting and what to do next? As I told you yesterday, I am going to talk about company feedback and ways to deal positively with the fact of not getting a job after an interview.Ok, so you’ve been preparing yourself for days, even weeks and D Day has finally come! You’ve anticipated every single detail, every question that could be asked and you’ve thought of the best answers to land the job. The interview comes and goes and wooh, it’s over!And now you’re waiting for an answer. You’re so confident that you’ll get the job, you had the best profile, the interview worked out splendidly. And then you get a letter instead of the expected positive phone call ... and the answer is NO. This comes as a real shocker to you! How come they didn’t see how ideally suited you were for the job. They must have been blind!Being turned down for a job you were dying to get is definitely a very bad experience. No matter how you look at it, deep inside you have this feeling of total rejection. It takes a lot of courage to react positively and move ahead on to the next hurdle.If the company that has turned you down hasn’t already done it, ask them for some feedback about why they turned you down. Companies have no obligation to give feedback, but if your rejection letter says you can, don’t give it a second thought. Just go and ask for it. This alone will help you move on to the next job opening.Let me mention the example of a friend who recently applied for a position as a shop manager for a chain of sporting goods stores. He was asked how he would go about building team spirit within the staff and he gave what he thought was the expected answer. He dismissed such techniques as paintballing or corporate bonding exercises, expressing the view that firms certainly didn’t want their money spent on silly things like that. He was convinced he had given the right answer. Well, he obviously hadn’t!Thanks to the feedback that he got, he later found out that paintballing and corporate bonding were exactly what he should have suggested. This document is about the difficulty of dealing with a rejection after a job interview. It offers some advice onhow to make the best out of a negative reply and turn it into a positive experience.The first piece of advice to deal positively with a rejection is to ask for feedback if the firm doesn’t make it clearwhy your application was rejected. It’s the best way to find out why you were turned down and therefore makeadjustments for the next job interview. Another positive aspect is to show how motivated you are and how capableyou are of adjusting to the firm’s requirements, something useful if you re-apply in the future.The document also highlights the fact that being rejected doesn’t necessarily mean that you weren’t suited forthe job. It can just mean that on that particular occasion you lacked the tiny bit that would have made the differenceor, as in the given example, you gave the wrong answer to one essential question.The document suggests that in order to take no chances when preparing for a job interview, you should stick asclosely as possible to the skills and attributes mentioned in the job advertisement. If you don’t get the job, youshould be prepared to accept it and move on.Being well aware of the qualities required for a position is vital, but those requirements need to be examinedcarefully within the context of the company and the position you are applying for.In conclusion, this document reflects the feelings we often have in similar circumstances. It also offers usefuladvice. However it is one thing to hear someone’s advice but quite a different matter to put it into practice.
