Does anyone have tips on handling being turned down by potential employers?
I’m applying for work experience and apprenticeships and part time jobs at the moment and my fragile little ego is terrified of rejection.
Something that helped me is that a workplace is just looking to fix a problem. They’re looking to solve a work-situation; it has literally zero bearing on who you are. It’s just that your skills or your resumé didn’t have the problem-solving parts they were looking for. <3
ME, ANTICIPATING A WHOLE WEEK OFF OF WORK FOR THE HOLIDAYS: Oh my gosh I will get so much done, I’ll read six books and write a ton and maybe even study and also—
ME, FIVE DAYS LATER, WHEN MY EXTENDED FAMILY IS FINALLY GONE FROM THE HOUSE AND QUIET FALLS: If anyone asks me to do more that lie here, breathe, and photosynthesize, I will kill them.

What We Mean: I am congenitally incapable of self-motivating and need someone to tell me what to do, but, like, without phrasing it as an order, because I also have authority issues.
