Job Search Myth #7: Rejection = Not Good Enough

Let’s talk about something no one prepares you for:

Rejection.

You pour your time, effort, and emotions into an application—and then hear nothing. Or worse, you get that automated “we’ve decided to move forward…” email.

It’s easy to assume the worst.

Myth #7: Rejection means I’m not good enough.

👉 Truth: Rejection often has nothing to do with your qualifications.

Behind the scenes, hiring decisions can be influenced by:

• Internal hires

• Shifting budgets

• “Ideal” candidates already in the pipeline

• Reorgs or hiring freezes

• Just plain bad timing

None of that reflects your worth.

But I know—it still stings. That’s why I created a mindset tool to help.

If you want to reframe rejection and build the kind of resilience that keeps you moving forward, check out the Shifting Your Mindset Mini-Course.

It’s built to support you through the ups and the downs.

Keep going. You’re not alone in this.
