Rejection hurts!

I have interviewed for several jobs and have gotten 2 rejections from my top 2 choices. 🙁 I didn't think rejection would hurt so bad, but it does. How many of you had first jobs that weren't your top picks??? I'm sad. 🙁

My first job wasn't my first pick, the residency I matched to wasn't my first choice...and it all turned out okay.

You'll have to be flexible initially. Your first job doesn't have to be your last. Learn what you can and work hard to get good references from your managers. This way you'll have experience/references when the right job does open up. I don't see myself at my current job forever, but it is providing me with a lot of areas to build my skills and get involved.

You're full of rejections aren't you.

Story of my life...😎

But I make the most out of the opportunities I have been given and that has gotten me far.

I got rejected like 100 times last year. Don't sweat it. I eventually got a decent gig in an actual city...

Your first job doesn't have to be your last.

QFT. Very few people in any profession get their top choice of first job. It's all about getting in and building your experience. 👍
