Disney JobSeeking Day28: The Incredibles
Don't Look Back
With every response, every move, every decision, you grow individually and quite possibly, professionally. This contributes to your experiences. But every once in a while, rejections and failures will strive to bring you down. You get your hopes up only to realize gravity still exists.
Each application you send in will have a positive or a negative response. You must be prepared for both. If it is positive, that’s great. But if it’s negative, that’s also good. Be grateful for your failures as much as your successes. They are a great learning experience and will add value moving forward.
Most employers don’t offer feedback if you have not made it through, so it’s difficult to know why you weren’t picked. Don't dwell on missing this opportunity by thinking of something you think you did wrong. The odds are that is not the reason. Don’t look back unless you’re headed that way.
It’s very easy to spiral downwards thinking about all the ways you could’ve done better. But take the hard route upwards. Learn from your mistakes and carry on. There’s always room for improvement, but if you keep living in the past, you may as well get stuck there.
“Don't look back. It distracts from the now.”
Key Points:
> Don’t dwell in the past
> Keep moving forward
