Job rejections feel like this
Rejections can trigger thoughts that aren't true. "I'm not skilled enough for this job." "I'm not talented enough to have this salary." "I'm not valuable." NOT TRUE. Rejections are a normal part of the job search process. No matter how many 'Nos' you receive, your talents and skills don't diminish. Your value doesn't decrease. Learn from each rejection, reflect on feedback, and continue pushing. You've got this!💪 #rejection #jobsearch #jobhunters

As a job seeker, job hunting after an employment gap can be daunting.
