Tips on Handling Rejection in Your Career
I have experienced many noes in my life. And yet, the noes haven't held me back.Whenever I get a no, I view it as an invitation-to explore new ways to cooperate, perhaps at another time.
Most importantly, noes encourage my persistence(坚持不懈).
Don't take the no personally. It's just business. Don't allow yourself to feel useless because someone rejects your application or says that they don't see an opportunity to work with you. As far as I'm concerned, it may have been a case of bad timing.
Don't shy away from being persistent. Persistence in the face of challenges, failures, and unexpected situations is the mark of a good employee.This extra effort may even get you noticed as displaying a valuable quality.
Be respectful. You won't get anywhere if you respond to a rejection with a hurt or bitter response. Honor the other person. Even if the final response is no, let the other party know you are still interested in working with them should an opportunity arise.
Be aware of cultural standards. Keep in mind that cultural standards regarding persistence vary. In some countries, it's perfectly OK to email someone twice a month to keep in touch with them.So, study up on the culture in which you want to take part and respect its rules.
I will continue to receive noes throughout my life. But I'm not afraid of them. For me, that's been an important part of my career advancement and professional development.
A. Instead, they've served as an inspiration to me.
B. I've built up my resistance to noes by being persistent.
C. However, constant phone calls are improper sometimes.
D. There's nothing wrong with a follow-up email or phone call.
E. On the contrary, people might consider it polite and favorable.
F. But that might be seen as rude and invasive in other countries.
G. To be persistent in the face of noes, I'd like to share a few rules.
If you're having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning, waking up more than once, for example), this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.
⒈Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}For example, if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work, you might go to bed around 10 pm, because that's when you start to feel sleepy, and it's also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If, on the weekend, you sleep until 9 am, you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until 1am.
⒉Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}Digestion slows down while asleep, and a full stomach may interrupt sleep. Similarly, you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach, as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
⒊{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Exposure to light during the time when you're supposed to be sleeping can destroy your body's internal clock. Turn your light off, or use a very dim(暗淡的)night light. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}They include windows, LED clocks and computer lights.
⒋Change your sleeping position. You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren't fully aware of what you are doing, but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
A.If you wake up at midnight, make an effort to have a comfortable position. B.In other words, sudden change of sleeping time will affect your "biological clock". C.Sleep is considered to be enough only when there is no daytime sleepiness. D.Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. E.Make note of unusual circumstances. F.Keep the room as dark as possible. G.Try to avoid all sources of light. |
