Rejected at your last job interview? You’re not alone and this is not the end of your career. Neeti Jaychander tells you how to make the most of this hiccup
Over two decades ago, when author JK Rowling tried to get the first book in the Harry Potter series published, she was rejected by almost every publishing house on the block. Despite being a single mother living on welfare, she didn’t give up and kept knocking on doors till Bloomsbury picked up the book. Today, Rowling is the UK’s best-selling living author and her books have brought in more than $25 billion. The Harry Potter franchise is one of the most popular of its kind, with video games, movies, merchandise and amusement parks to its name. Rowling is basically the poster girl for the saying, ‘failure is the stepping stone to success’. So while it’s difficult to keep your chin up and go for one bruising job interview after another, we assure you there is light at the end of the tunnel. You can even make it shine brighter by making these little changes.
