How do you deal with rejection?
last modified: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 (5:10:48 PM)
I just got out of an interview for another position within the company I work for. Turns out they are basicly just making another position you have to get into first to get into the sales position that I want. >_< I am not worried. Ill eventually get the job... LOL

So I am sitting in the interview, and the guy asks me "How do you deal with rejection?". Such a strange interview question!! Makes sense though to ask that becuase of the type of work I will be doing.

My response?

What do you want me to do? Cry about it? You kinda have to let things roll off of your back or you will get no where fast.

They said that was the perfect answer.. but I don't think so. LOL I have this problem of not sounding very professional. I guess my attitude of "keeping it real"(that is what my team mates say at least) needs to start fading out. Ah.. such a good way to live though. I repeated myself alot in that interview. All of the fancy words and responses I had thought of last night flew out the window as I became more nervous. What ever happened to that confidence I get when I put on a nice two suit? ah...

In other non job related talk.. LOL

Jiji is doing great!!!!!!! I will update with pictures after I have the stitch things removed from his neck. I cant remember what they are called for the life of me right now. I ended up owing the vet another $350. ouch >_< oh well. still cheaper than what I thought it was going to be. I love my $2250 cat! LOL

He is becoming very spoiled... At night when I come home; he jumps up on the island in the kitchen and starts nudging me because he wants his flaked tuna cat food. The cats are used to dry food so they are loving the wet stuff. :D

All is good though. There should be no more complications and he has escaped the house a few times. I would think going outside would be terrible if a good bit of me was shaved. :-/ Cold...


later ^=^

I''ve had that question in an interview before. My answer? "I deal with it like any normal person would. I try to figure out what went wrong and learn from those mistakes so I don''t make them again in the future." I prep myself for anything. My least favorite question is where do you see yourself in 5 years. I have a standard answer for that too. "Why, working here with you fine folks of course." ^.~

Glad to hear your cat is doing well! ^_^
