Rejection Is Protection.
Submitted by: Shraddha
IndiaThis is the story of some of my magical moments in my professional life.
I started off my career with a startup company, in a completely different field than the one I studied for. I used to worry a lot about the future as I wanted to move to an MNC.
I did not complete my education at a reputed college, hence I was doubtful about if I would ever get a good job. People around me used to always say things like, the market is down, jobs are scarce, and job hunting is difficult. That was the mindset I carried as well. I was mentally exhausted from giving interviews and being rejected all the time.
Then I read The Secret.
That was when I learned to let things go and I started doing the following things:
1. I happily updated my profile on job sites.
2. I answered telephone interviews calmly without any expectations.
3. When I was rejected, I said to myself, I know I deserve the best and I will receive it.
4. When people complained that there were no jobs in the market, I smiled and with undying faith would reply that are plenty of good jobs in the market.
I had written down in my journal what I wanted.
1. An MNC company.
2. The company will approach me on its own.
3. They would agree to my salary package without any negotiations.
4. And the best part, the interview will be a piece of cake.
The result:
1. I didn’t get an MNC but I got selected into a ‘Big 4’ to the top company in the world! A straight jump from a startup company to a Big 4 was jaw-dropping to me and for everyone else.
2. The company approached me, not once or twice but 5 times!
3. And yes, the salary was agreed to on the spot, and the interviews were cracked easily.
After this experience, I have a strong belief that the Universe always listens to you. It will give you things you want and sometimes even much more than what you expect. If you are being rejected from somewhere, it means you are being redirected to somewhere else.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
