I'm really disappointed...

  • Thread starter Thread starter
  • Start date Start date

I was turned down today for an opportunity to achieve a major career goal of mine. I'm only 20, and the position I was applying for is one that many people wait their whole lives to get into, but it still hurts. I honestly thought I had a real chance to achieve this goal, and I was honestly surprised when I received my rejection today. I guess I counted my chickens a little early.

If there's any consolation I can take with this disappointment, it's that I did everything possible I could to achieve this goal...and I suppose my qualifications simply didn't fit the criteria for the position.

The hard part now is getting back all that motivation I lost when I opened the letter today.

🙁

Humor? What humor? 😉
 
You'll be fine. Like you said, most people have to wait their whole lives for that position. Just give it time. Just being able to apply with that confidence shows that you're a leader. Keep going, keep trying, try again later, my friend. You sir, rock. :beer: Feel better? 🙂

Not only other opportunities will exist for you, but better opportunities. 🙂

Edit: Damn, I just realized, I could be writing these little one-liners for fortune cookie companies. 😉
