LIFE@IMS and it’s a season of mixed emotions. At one side, you will enjoy your success by getting a dip in that holy “kund” with a pomp, on the other side, you might feel bad for the rejection of your closest accomplice. But this is a season of epic comebacks too. It’s a season where men are separated from boys as mere boys choose to scratch their heads to know the reason behind their rejection while men choose the other way.
A lot of students I talk to these
days feel quizzical about the exit, they feel irritated and a sadness prevails
in their emotions. So, how to deal with those early round exits and come back
stronger. Here are few ways:
1.
Keep
Preparing and you never know when your day might come:There was a
time when two of my acquaintances were not getting their profiles selected
though we, or rather they, were preparing hard. It was very confusing and
disappointing too. But, around all this, they never left their preparations at
bay. They kept improvising their knowledge and skill base, practiced hard,
looked into their resume and eventually got selected with the highest package.
“Hence, it’s just that some days are not
made for you while some days are only made for you”
That someday will soon come, just prepare and
prepare hard.
2.
Stop
Contemplating: This might be extremely irritating to face early round exits
and it naturally is when stakes are high. But never go into the mode of deep
contemplation for that. There is a huge difference between assessment and
contemplation. Do assess your performance and where it could have been improved
but don’t contemplate on recurrent questions like: Why me? When? How? Till
then? Am I eligible enough to crack any of them? What if I don’t make it?
3.
Move
on As soon as possible: This might be easier said than done but if you
analyze the choices you have after a rejection, either you can hang around and
worsen the situation or you can move on and start afresh for the next
opportunity. This is the principle on which life works, so why not apply it
here. It’s just a process.
4.
Celebrate
others’ success: There was this guy who was facing constant denials from
every recruiter but always celebrated his peers’ success. For him, the
selection came late but he never refrained himself from celebrating others’
success. Congratulate them, meet them, talk to them, and share some moments of
happiness with them. There is some spiritual connection which is inherent in
doing this. Believe me, it works and it work wonders.
5.
Victory
lies in making comebacks: There is a different glory in making come backs.
The happiness is much more than getting it on the first go. A rejection can
either kill your enthusiasm or it can pump you to do better next time. Choice is
yours, decide early and come victorious.
6.
Be
relaxed because this is not the end of the road: There is nothing to worry
if you are not making it. There are loopholes to be corrected but that does not
mean that you are worse kind of student a recruiter would come across. Just
relax, have some good time, have some fun and things will be back on track
soon. Take it easy.
7.
Believe
in yourself: I love this dialogue from the movie “Pursuit of happiness” which says: “Never let anyone say that you can’t do it. If you think you can do it,
you can” Believe in yourself, take up the challenge and try not to crumble
under circumstances. Accept everything with a big heart, never crib about anything
and be patient enough to come across a good offer.
Well, the rejections you are facing right
now is just a beginning of a long, arduous and challenging journey, it’s not
the end of it. There are lot more colors to be filled in the canvas.
Just chill………..without paying its bill………!!!!!!!!!!
And don’t forget to prepare hard.
