You got an interview for you dream job.
You thought it went well but in the end you didn't get the job.
How do you feel? Rejected, sad, stressed, depressed, you call yourself a loser, your confidence level drops and you think you'll never amount to anything.
Far from it.
You just didn't get that particular job that's all.
It either wasn't right for you or you weren't right for that job or organisation.
It doesn't mean you will never be right for another job or organisation.
Take a look at the reasons you applied for that particular job:

• Because it pays well
• Good conditions
• Because someone else said you should go for it
• You didn't have the right qualifications but you went for it anyway
• As an ego booster with higher ranking position than your present job

Or did you apply for that job because:

• That's the job you really wanted

Either way it didn't work out for you.
Sometimes what we want and what we need to progress in life don't match.
Sometimes things are just not meant to be because there is something better around the corner and this is just a learning experience for you.
So to get your ideal job ask yourself what comes easy to you and what you enjoy doing:

• Do you prefer direct customer service or do you prefer not to talk to people
• Do you prefer to manage others or would you rather let others make all decisions for you

This will save you a lot of time and disappointment.
It is natural and normal to go through a grieving process and self analysis after a rejection of any kind.
But not to beat yourself up about it too much.
After all you are going through the school of life like everyone else.
Step back, assess what went wrong, learn from it and move on.
Just because you were rejected and didn't get the job doesn't mean you're a lesser person.
You are still the same person but may need to make some improvements in your life.
Is it more training, further study or maybe you need to build your confidence and self esteem.
Organisations spend a lot of time and money to make sure they recruit the right person.
They take necessary steps to make sure they've made the right choice.
Therefore you need to make the right choice for you.
Ask yourself what you need to do to get the job of your dreams and watch out for signs which make sense to you.
It could be a song or a road sign that points you in the right direction.
Or maybe what someone said stuck on your mind.
Don't force it or stress over it.
Relax, take a few deep breaths and see what pops into your mind.
