Let's switch it to English

From this day on, my blog will be written in EnglishIt is something that I have been thinking since the very beginning of this thing. I need to practice, to become again completely fluent and I have time to learn new words. 


And for today: how to recover after a big no

In the first place, what is a big no?

A big no is what you receive when you are not selected for something that could have changed your life for better in the next coming months. Instead, it usually drives you to the uncertainty of being a human being and it makes you feel bad, sick, tired of the world that you are trying so hard to move from.

A big no makes you feel down. There is nothing new about this. But we must always learn from these big nos. Saying that, what can you learn after a big no?

  • Every big no has a meaning so uncover the meaning of your big no. Why did it happen? Was it because you were not so good as you thought? Not so well prepared? Not so convincing? Not so convinced? Or was it because of other random reason apart from you?

  • You should be prepared for that decision. Were you well prepared for that decision? Probably not. Probably you spent the last few days, perhaps weeks, waiting for that great moment when your luck would change and get that job, that not-dream-but-close-job. But what about your plan B? Do you have any alternative?

  • "To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction" (by Sr Isaac Newton). In this specific case, you don't need to react in the opposite way but you must react as quickly as possible to start a new adventure in the realm of uncertainty: get up from that bad mood and do a reset on your PC, mind and spirit. Refresh your job search and start to apply (again)!


Don't ever wait again for a big no.
