How do you handle rejection with dignity?

By Zippia Team - Mar. 27, 2023

To handle a job rejection with dignity, it's important to remember not to take it personality because it is not always about you. Most rejections aren't based solely on your performance, there are many things that go into it. Most of the time a rejection is because there was another candidate that was a little more experienced and qualified for the position.

The rejection shouldn't be taken as feedback on your performance. Ask the recruiter or hiring manager for feedback. You may find that you did everything right but ultimately someone else was a better fit for the position.
