dealing with job rejection quotes
I was told this week that I didn’t get a job I’ve been hoping and praying for over the past few months. They made me wait nearly a month after in-person final interviews before calling me this week and rejecting me from the job.
It’s such a sucky feeling and truly takes a stab at my self worth, especially at a time when it’s so hard to get a job. I try to remind myself that it’s for the best, but sometimes it just feels so painful that I forget to give myself grace and encouragement.
If you’re in a similar place and facing discouragement from job rejection, I hope these quotes uplift you and remind you that you’re more than just a job.
