dealing with rejection
with taylor desseyn (solo)
- if you haven't heard back from a recruiter, reach out and simply ask for a yes or no either way
- recruiters often sit on bad news because they struggle to deliver it, so following up helps both sides
- rejection usually reflects fit or timing, not your worth, so try not to take it personally
- keep taking interviews even when you're not actively looking so rejection stops feeling so heavy
- building real relationships instead of mass applying can cut down how often you face rejection
