Resilience and Grit

Thinking about the results of perseverance and flexibility in job searching. The process of looking for a job may be exhausting and frustrating, particularly if you are rejected several times. Despite failures, I had to maintain my motivation and keep applying, enhancing my interview techniques, and updating my résumé.

 

When I first started looking for a job, I had trouble creating an outstanding CV, structuring applications for certain positions, and doing well in interviews. After getting several emails in which I was rejected or no answer at all, I began to have doubts about my skills and if I was qualified for the jobs I was looking for.

Getting a job after several failed tries shows my tenacity and perseverance. I kept applying for jobs, prepared mock interviews, improved my résumé, and asked for feedback instead of quitting. Along with learning how to better highlight my abilities, I also got better at networking.

 

This event demonstrates resilience because, in spite of rejection and self-doubt, I persisted in moving forward. I saw every rejection as a teaching moment rather than a setback. Grit is also demonstrated by the fact that I persisted in pursuing my objective and kept refining my strategy until I succeeded.

 

I've discovered that perseverance, self-improvement, and flexibility are essential for conquering obstacles. The event strengthened my belief that challenge is only temporary and that persistence breeds growth and achievement.
