Reframe a Job Rejection as Useful Career Data
You applied, you got turned down, and the inner voice is happily turning a single no into a referendum on your worth. This reframes it as data: was the role really the right fit, was the preparation there, was the positioning off. Name the role you went for and it pulls three specific questions out of the rejection, so you investigate rather than spiral.
