Jia Jiang has a TedX talk about undergoing “100 days of Rejection Therapy”. The idea is to increase your fortitude when someone tells you “NO”! Here are some of the challenges:
- Speak over Walmarts Intercom
- Borrow $100 from a stranger
- Race a random person
- Make your own sandwich at Subway
Job search brings on rejection! According to Richard Bolles, “What Color Is Your Parachute”, for every 20 resumes you send out, you will receive one interview! It is not about you! You are fine! It is timing in the job market! Whatever it takes…build your resilience! Right behind your fortitude is your next great job!
