Foreign. Thank you for staying tuning here guys. This is a very important podcast because people are getting rejections after rejection in their interview. Lot of people are not able to understand why it is a part of their failure. A lot of people are not able to take it as a positive push for their career. And a lot of people don't reflect on this learnings so that they are taking it as a negative and depression mode and they are going into a very bad state. Okay, so in this podcast I'm going to help you why you, why it is happening and how you can able to improve it to get to know that this is going to be the ultimate fuel for your success. Okay, so let's jump in. So let us understand one important thing here. Rejection is a part of process. When I say it's a part of process. It is very very normal to have in the initial phase of your career.

Okay.

But we will have to understand it in a very positive way. Why it is very important for a long term success. It is very vital to first learn what are you really good at, what are you really bad at? Why are you doing this? Mistakes? Because that will become a basics for you. This is a very important skill. The reason being if you're not able to understand your setbacks, you will not be able to bounce back in the very worst times of your life. It helps you transform your mindset. It helps you build a big resilience also conf and you will be very relevant for the industry guys. So failure is good. If you think that failure is bad then definitely I'm telling you, you will not be having a very positive experience in your life ever. It is a part of process. You will have to understand this. Okay, see I'll tell you one mistake what people do, they take rejections personally. Nobody rejects you personally. People reject your skills. Maybe they don't want you now, maybe they may want in the future. Maybe you're not relevant now, maybe your skills are not relevant. See understand the relevance and what you call the match is very important. So it's not about personally rejecting you.

Okay?

And other mistake. What people do is they don't ask feedback. You will have to be very clear on asking a feedback how you can able to improve it. Third, people lose motivation after three, four attempts. They go back into the realm. No, don't do that. This is why people are getting into a big move. I'll tell you one few steps to improve guys. First of all you have to change your mindset. Make sure you are becoming that person while you are going to the job search process. See the salary, the numbers, the value, what you're going to get. It all depends on your mindset. If your mindset is very high to receive 10 to 12 LP automatically you will be finding that job. When you get 5Lp, you will not accept. When you get 50Lp also you will not get acceptance. So your mindset is grown to that level. So always focus on improving your mindset to that level of job. Quality of work, life balance, the quality of the design studio work as well as the salary value, everything is very important, right? We cannot only take salary as a component or we can't take only work work life balance as a component here. So you will have to understand other three factors as well. So in order to improve your mindset, you will have to practice daily goal setting. You will have to practice gratitude. You will have to listen to Stranger Secret twice.

We have something like an accountability system. We will help you set your habits so that you can able to cultivate a lot of good growth habits in your lifestyle. Because if you're not able to improve your habits, you will not be able to improve your success level. Very simple. Second is practice a habit for asking feedback. When an interview gets completed, talk to the recruiter, understand what they're saying. Understand why you're getting failed. Understand what has really kept you getting not hired. So ask them feedback. If sometimes they are not giving you feedback, then find a person who can able to give a feedback for your interview. If you're not able to still get an interview feedback, then go and ask your mentors or accountability partners or somebody who is going to definitely help you to get you shown the mistakes properly. Because what happens is people don't do that.

Okay?

And the third is you'll have to set a realistic goal. Make sure it is not something like you are setting some totally unrealistic goal that is not going to happen and you also know it. Okay? That is why values goals is very important. If you are in my community, you will also know what has been my value determination process and goal setting.

Okay?

The fourth important thing is practice self care. See, you will have to understand that having some mindfulness practice to reduce your stress and it boosts your clarity what you wanted to see. Many times it helps you focus on these rejections and focus on the improvement, not on rejections.

Okay?

And fifth is build a very good support network. If you are in a very good design community or some kind of a mentoring support or anything, it's ideally good. But don't do self learning. That will literally lose your time and it will waste a lot of your energy and efforts and you will not get results at the end of the day. Okay, Practice mindfulness techniques. See, any mindfulness technique is good, guys. You can do meditation, you can do visualization, you can do affirmation practice, you can do journaling. So these are all the hacks which you can try it out. If you are community. I'll also teach you how to do gratitude, how to learn how to write gratitude.

Okay?

And when you fill a document called Codex, you will also find out affirmations because affirmations is very important to subconsciously tune you. And then when you write goals, you will visualize. And then when you're focusing on your breath and concentrating every single day for at least 10 to 15 minutes on some kind of a meditation or focus practice, you will be absolutely clear on you are focusing on the right things for your career. So rejection is a part of process. We'll have to take it constructively and move forward so that maturity will come over a time. Okay, so practice these things and accept rejection as a part of process. See guys, I'll tell you one thing. Average 10 to 20 rejections every time happens. This is the persistence for your success. This is the key for your success. People who ask feedback are likely to improve 20 to 25 percentage of getting job. So rejection impacts to similar pain also. There is no doubt in it, but resilience. Improve your rewiring response. And I'll tell you, gratitude practice will strengthen your positive pathways and it will activate your prefrontal cortex and it will open up the gratitude center in your brain and you will see a lot of possibilities and opportunities in front of you to get hired and get your success and your goals reached.
