In this episode of The Career Diet Podcast, we’re tackling one of the toughest parts of the job search: rejection. Whether it’s an automated rejection email or a final-round interview that didn’t go your way, setbacks can be discouraging. But rejection doesn’t have to define your career—it can be a stepping stone to something better.

I’m sharing my personal experiences and coaching insights to help you reframe rejection, process it constructively, and use it as fuel for future success.

What you’ll learn in this episode: 

✅ Why rejection is not a reflection of your worth—and what it actually means in the hiring process. 

✅ How to process rejection without letting it derail your confidence or motivation. 

✅ Strategies to follow up with hiring managers and turn a “no” into a potential future opportunity. 

✅ The role of resilience in career success and how to strengthen yours over time.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or discouraged by job search rejection, this episode will give you the mindset shifts and practical tools you need to move forward with confidence.
