It is a disappointing thing in fact to hear they don't want you but you must not forget that this is not the only company in the world.you may like it now but as you find the proper job for you you will probably feel sorry that you have wasted so many nerves on something like that.Keep on trying and don't bother yourself with stuff like that.

Hi Vishkris, dont take it too personally. If the company is a good company, you are lucky to even get an interview. Once I attended an interview, and the hiring manager told me that I am the only one selected to come for the interview. She received more than 200 job applications. Of course I was selected for the job. However, the dream job turned into a nightmare job. The hiring manager happened to be those who bosses from hell. She complained about everything I said or done. She even encouraged my colleagues to backstab each other. I left soon after.

i have that experience, once, i tried applying for a call center job, the problem is, the interviewer was a guy, i am also a guy, then there is this girl, same as i, applying for a job, the job interview was simple, but he interviewed us both, me and the girl at the same time, since the girl was good looking, i am set aside and they just talked. then after they finished talking, he said to me, okay, i will evaluate your application, will call you if your hired. then, nothing...... such a hurtful feeling because it was my first try for a job and it was frustrating because their office was so hard to find, i walked a lot and asked a lot to get there and that's what i get after..

Yes, but maybe it is not the best job for me, or it is a motivation for me to do better next time

...Hi there vishkris. Whenever someone is saddened over some kind of rejection in life, I usually tell them to look up the history and the life of our 16th President of the United States. Abraham Lincoln. Before Mr. Lincoln became president he failed at so many things that he tried to do. He just kept failing. But he would not give in to that failure. He kept going and he kept trying. Eventually he succeeded, he was elected to the House of Representatives I believe and he went from there to being one of the greatest presidents in history. So if you would like inspiration, research Abrahasm Lincoln's life and see how failure can help you to eventually be a great successs. You will find a position that you will be happy with, maybe better than the one where you were rejected. Keep trying. Take care.

Hi, friend. It's natural to feel some disappointment after being rejected in applying for a job. I believe most people have such an experience. We have such a strong expectation for a interview and even believe we're doing very well, but at last, we're rejected for unknown reasons. I remember applying for the job as a college teacher last year. I really felt excited when I got the message to go to the interview. The interview did go very well and everything seemed to be favorable. I was almost sure that I would get that job, but it turned out I was rejected. I didn't know why, nor did I call them to get a reason. It's advisable to accept it as it was. The disappointment lingered in me for a few days, which was really a suffering since being a college teacher was always what I wanted to do. Then I realized I shouldn't be too overwhelmed. Perhaps my failure meant the other chances for me and I did successfully get a job as a college teacher half a year after that. So I just want to tell you don't be too upset. There's always a way out.

Nobody wants to feel rejected. You have to ffel some sense of disappointment. Being rejected can leave you with a sense of unworthiness that you may want want to face.

Yes there are times that I get disappointed but for that day only because I don't want my life to be affected with that so I do is I never quit. Just leave the past and start your life again by trying it again. :)

Oh - life is full of ups and downs and especially an interview is a critical moment which runs very swiftly in the process of thoughts -either -ve or +ve. there were days a couple of decades back where everything went on sincerely but now a days everything runs on bribes, friendship and relationship, so an interview is an unbelievable movement,hence I too faced such negative situations but did not take it into heart instead became strong keeping all the situations in mind and faced the other chance with full determination. Become stone strong to live in this world.

Of course, everyone feels a bit of disappointment when they are rejected. You won't feel that if you didn't care for the reason of the rejection. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't get into your dream company. But remember there is always a reason for everything. Sometimes, what we think will make us happy is different from what will really make us happy. We just don't realize it at the moment.

Don't worry you are not alone. Most of us if not all have tried getting rejected at least once or twice in their lifetime. Now the question is was it your fault or their fault that you got rejected? You did not explain thoroughly as to why you got rejected. If it was a fault on your end then learn from it. Ask yourself where did you go wrong? Then make sure you don't commit the same mistake the next time around. If that company is really your dream company then try to check if you can still reapply after a month or so. Good luck!

You should not take it too hard. It is a way of life. I am sure you will get better things. It is very hard to understand rejection, especially when it is something you really really want. But if we have everything we want, we will not be motivated to better ourselves. Remember that when one window is closed, another is opened.

First off, if the above response is the best response, you should totally award the "Best Response" notation to it. :) Secondly, I'm really sorry that you felt such grief and pain. That's obviously never pleasant, but hopefully you're able to turn it around and learn from it, even if the only thing you learn is how to deal with the pain better next time. I would say I've absolutely been disappointed before. Anytime you put yourself out there for others to accept or refuse you, you make yourself vulnerable, and if the latter happens, then yeah, unfortunately, you feel that disappointment. My advice would be to always hope for the best, but to expect the worst. That way, if the worst happens, you're already prepared for it, but if something better is the result, it's like an extra special nice little surprise. Hope this helps.
