An excellent reminder not to go nuts for ANY job, no matter how exciting it sounds! Could you maybe share some advice about Mom’s looking for the return onto or looking to switch job after maternity leave? It’s my situation right now and I find it super hard (maybe just my own bias), not to think my career is over.
I was recommended for promotion within my company this year. The selection were made and I was push back for a later date , I was so upset that I wasn’t chosen for the position right away since I was recommended. Then Corona virus came and all those persons were lay off and I am still working. I remember giving so much thanks to God for not allowing me to be selected at that time. Trust God is timing is sure
I cried watching this. I have been so depressed because of the rejections that I have been receiving. Thank you so much for making this video Brigette.
As soon you said you wanted that particular job, I said out loud, "but look at you now." I have learned through experience that most rejections are blessings. God has protected me from several bad situations. Great video.
Rejection and failure hurts so much. I like the fact that you said you can be the best candidate and still not get it. We just have to keep moving in life no matter how many times we fall
I got rejected today from a job that I felt confident that I was qualified for. Both my interview rounds went well (or so I thought) and it hurt me a lot just as you described so hearing your reassuring words have helped.
As always, you have just the right words.... I was rejected this past week from what I thought was an incredible job opportunity, and I think the problem was not that I was discarded, the real problem is that I was told that I'll be offered and at the next day they decided not to follow the process with me (whaaat?) so.... I think sometimes companies are just crazy and irresponsible with candidates....
I am grateful for finding this video! I was recently rejected from an internal position that I was so very excited for. Unfortunately because I was not selected for the role I will need to resign from the company due to the specific role I am in causing ailment. I was saddened by the rejection but as you stated... I am not rejected... I am being redirected! God has a bigger plan for me that I just don’t see yet! Thank you so much for this!
Although I didn't beg for a job, I felt that I left an immeasurable impression because I drew ah-has, wow, I've never heard that before from all 4 interviewers. I also garnered smiles and laughs and felt I had established affinity w/the hiring MGR. The job itself was the perfect fit. I would've excelled at it--to the company's benefit. However, I did NOT get the job! The decline notice read, in part, everyone was qualified. However, we went with a different candidate. The job was posted two more times before either the MGR or HR had enough sense to change the job title and description to 'hide' it, because I kept applying to the job--welcoming the opportunity to share new accomplishments and address any weaknesses that led them to go w/another candidate. Basically, the MGRS LIED! Given the amount of discrimination in the workplace, I no longer believe that 'life isn't fair.' 2020 proved that life is all about favoritism and favoritism is linked inexplicably to isms +money. The MGRS lacked diversity of thought and ethics and easily felt threatened by me. They were also looking for a unicorn, or a purple squirrel even though none of them were either. No surprise that the company is among those that was held to task for failing in the area of diversity, equity and inclusion this year. So while I dogged the bullet--of being subject to leaders who would easily devalue my skills, sabotage me or see me as a threat to their own existence, it wasn't because life isn't fair. It's because people are biased, SELFISH and prideful. 2020 proved that ethical leaders can ensure that life IS fair--hence EQUITY in DEI. The stress of not being financially secure is one reason why job rejection had lingering effects on me. Ditto for not knowing my purpose. Doors do open, but not always the one you knock on in the timeframe you expect. With less professional opportunities available, and massive shifts in marketplace demands, this video is timely. Ideal to do a video about what to do until opportunity finds you--and I don't mean the obvious: update resume, network on LI, tell your network, take classes/obtain a degree, etc.. What practical things can people do to find or do meaningful work and sustain themselves/family? How can qualified pros 'shift' and adapt to new job demands? Where are the jobs?
Thank you for this video, Brigette. I was recently rejected for a job that seemed like it would have been perfect. I had a solid background and skillset to make a valuable contribution in the role, the organization is one that I would have been proud to be a part of, and it would have been a great next step to advance my career. Ultimately, I was rejected for reasons that didn't really make a lot of sense and that were contradictory to what the hiring manager said during our interviews together. I saw the job relisted for new candidates shortly thereafter, adding more sting to the rejection. I was pretty crushed by the whole experience, and it wasn't until I watched this video that I realized I was still hanging onto that hurt. This video was definitely the wake up call that I needed. I'm a longtime follower on LinkedIn, looking forward to seeing more of your content here!
Roger it seems to me they lost someone good. They are not the asset. You are! Their loss! There are better things in store for you. The right employer will appreciate your skills and talent and hire you.
Wow!! So much to learn from you #BrigetteHyacinth. Loved the way of your great explanation. My takeaways are: 1. Life is not fair 2. It was never meant for you 3. Use rejection as Introspection 4. Keep a positive mental attitude - Stay motivated 5. You weren't rejected you were redirected 6. Rejection is not a measure of your self-worth 7. Beleive in yourself and keep trying, The right door will open for you P.S: "I will prepare and some day my chance will come." - by Abraham Lincoln Truly amazing video I saw today great post Brigette many more thanks for this. Loads of love & respect from the bottom of my heart you are my favorite! :) #brigettehyacinth #rejection #jobseekers
Look, she’s a winner. I came over here from LinkedIn where I followed her for a while. At some point I concluded that she’s the real deal. If you like her content, then you probably share the same winner attitude with her.
Thank you Brigette for sharing your personal story. Very relatable. I have had my share of rejections from jobs, a few of which I really had my heart set on. It was difficult for me to keep going and I even gave up the job search for a while. Then when I was laid off, I was much happier, as it was a disrespectful work environment. I decided to put on my job search hat again. I knew I did not want to return to that company, and was determined to land something else. Your encouraging comments about the job hunt inspired me as well! What you said about it 'not being your door,' stayed with me. I am happy to say that I finally got a job offer!! To everyone still searching, keep on going, one day you will hear that "yes!!'🌟
Dear Brigette. You are as inspiring as you are on LinkedIn. I was following you for a long time there and I am here to support people like you on UA-cam. It's important to have a self reminder that we are unique individuals no matter how the outcomes looks like for the time being. keep pressing on and on and choose to move forward and the best is yet to come!! Linda
You heal my broken soul. I received a rejection from a job interview today. I was so sure of getting the job, and it hurt so bad. Thank you for this piece; you have inspired me to keep trying;I believe that "someday my chance will come"
Beautiful presentation Brigette. These tips are very necessary to everyone. I love your statement "Let's put human touch in HR", which you quote everywhere. This is the real missing element in today's HR management because of which organizations are not doing good.
You touch my soul, thank the world for Brigette Hyacinth, the most wonderful person I have come across, and I will keep watching your video's and your posts, because they make me think, and try to improve myself, and try not to be so hard on myself... kudos Brigette!
I’m from Brazil and I’ve been following your posts on LinkedIn. The way you write and tell your stories give us hope and encourage all of us to pursue our dreams not matter how big they are. It’s also easy and nice to hear your English - you speak slowly and even those who are not fluently in English are able to understand!
This is powerful, I received " we regret to inform you that your application was unsuccessful" emails in all the job applications I put so far. Job hunting is emotionally draining and rejection is more like applying a salt on a fresh wound. This video is so inspiring and helped me to understand and deal with rejection. Thank you Brigette Hyacinth.
Your inspiration is amazing my sister. I feel much better after watching this video. I got rejected from a dream job a few months ago but I have moved on and I am glad I came across this video.
I'm teary watching this, Brigette, it is well-related to my experience. Thank you for creating this video, you have pulled me from rock bottom to the surface, to chin up while still down to earth to keep improving myself.
This has come at the best time, infact my lowest moment. Just received a regret letter for this great opportunity that I thought was a perfect fit. After the video I feel its probably a redirection.Thanks alot.
Great video as always! If someone does not sees our values it does not mean we are not valuable or that we have even bigger potentail. So keep selfmproving learning gainning new knowledge and build better world! People need leaders that will move them fowrad see potential and work on it. Blessings to all and to this great lady TRUE LEADER🙏🙏🙏
I just went through the same thing where I was rejected from what should have been a perfect job. Or so I thought. I found out later on that the company had lied to me by saying that there was no such job available, yet they hired someone else externally for the position. I also found out that others in the company had similar experiences where promises were not being kept or they were lied to as well. In the end, the question that kept going through my mind was, "I have a certain set of ethical values. Do I really want to work for a company that does not share those ethics and values?" Rejection for me turned into a double edge sword. On one side, yes, it hurt. But on the other side, it has allowed me to divorce myself from a company that has failed in its ethical responsibilities. For me, I consider that as a win. Captian Jean Luc Picard of Star Trek: the Next Generation once said, "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life." I will move on, I will get better, I will survive. Thankyou Brigette for your excellent postings, videos and advice.
Dear James. One day you say Thank God you dodged that bullet. You were thinking too small. Your future is bright. There is something bigger and better in store for you. You deserve so much more.
@@BrigetteHyacinth Thankyou so much Brigette. In a 2020 where everything seems to have gone wrong, you a bright light on the horizon. Not just to me but to everyone who sees your posts and videos. Thanks!
Powerful advice. I think we take it personally because we're human. We think we're superhuman or extraordinary, but we're just human. I loved the content; the music's distracting but not overbearing.
In Africa to be specific in Kenya we can rely on family members for networks. We're zero reliable. Some are even afraid of you'll prosper more than them.
Perfect timing, we can become so fortunate us on the one situation and miss what's behind it that maybe even better. There can be so many variables involved.
Thank you for the great words of encouragement Bridgette. I have been looking to advance at my job for a while now and those where exactly the words I needed to hear.
I finally started a new job this morning in a position that gives me higher pay, more responsibility, and one that sets me up for a future with bigger things to come. Thanks to all for your encouragement and support. Thanks Bridgette for your wise words - they meant so much even during the times when I came so close but never got the position I wanted. Everything happens for a reason and the right position eventually came.
What you were saying between 2:18 and 2:30 sounds pretty much like what I felt almost two weeks ago when I was rejected from what I considered to be a dream job at a library. I'm trying to realize especially numbers 2, 4, 6, and 7, but its easier said than done. Then again, it's not even been two full weeks, so I should probably give myself grace. Maybe I really didn't have divine favour regarding the position, or it wasnt meant to be anyway. That being said, I do appreciate you bringing God and spirituality into this; I don't see how I could live without that. Thank you again for your advice, and you are beautiful if you don't mind my saying. :)
I was rejected for a job..I got an email stating you wasn't selected. I cried my heart out and I get over it. It took me over two weeks and I start working on myself. Until one day..somebody must say..YES..!
This is so hopeful because I am looking for a job since almost a year ( I lost my previous job because COVID ) I am sending like 50-80 -100 cv per month and nothing ....and is true ...I do feel like I am not worth a job .I am doing something wrong , I don’t know ...but is not a good feeling. Thx for helping ❤️
I love your content; long time LinkedIn follower and I look forward to every new UA-cam upload. Keep up the great work; you're an amazing source of inspiration and encouragement for everyone - whether they're on the job hunt or not.
I enjoyed your seven tips - especially the one from Abraham Lincoln. He really was an amazing US President. He really did bring a nation that was torn apart back together. But, I never thought Abe's wisdom could be used to help people pursue a better life for themselves...until I watched your video. Thank you for sharing the insight.
Watching this after (hmmm...... actually few days later) having salary discussion done with HR (and company having collected all required documents to process offer.......after 7 rounds, few in middle of vacation) and getting Regret mail the very next day and company representatives, who were until now very cordial, approachable and caring, now turned incommunicado like martians......... without giving any reason despite sending them my analysis of process.......needless to say, this video is much needed. Yeah, at this point bit hard (actually more than bit) to swallow but this video advise is the best pill. Thanks Brigette! God bless!!
@@BrigetteHyacinth Oh....mmmm.....wow!! Message from Brigette!!! Thank you, thank you mam! The first thing that came to my mind when I recovered from news, was your statement - Rejection is redirection. Sure, will keep fighting and let God be my path-director. Keep inspiring us all, Brigette! Thank you and god bless!!
Well said! Definitely a huuuge thumbs up for this wonderful and encouraging video! Yeah we have to admit that the life is unexpected and might take very unexpected turns. But let’s face it and fight back. Strongly agree with you that if you fail to have your dream job, well there is even something much better awaiting for you. The right door will open for you for sure. People are just easily frightened and look down upon themselves after one fail but your video has motivated me and so many others I strongly believe! Thank you so much!)
Very well said Brigette!! Great video and awesome advice as all always! Love it!! Life is not always fair - move on! Never meant for you! Always fuel up, keep going and Never Give Up!! God Bless!
Thank you Brigette , love this , definitely fuel to motivate me to move forward as I know its coming I can feel it !!! Trust God , whatever you visualize will materialize :) In tears thank you 1000% right , changed my perspective and everything is coming just like you said !!!
Thanks for sharing this Vedeo Brigette.I am going through a similar phase of pain and despair and it truly helped me believe that there are better things in store for me. Lots of love and blessings for you.
Thank you. I have obtained my Bachelor degree in Accounting in 2010. I have yet been given the opportunity to work in the field. Companies would say entry level which i have applied for then ask for 2 to 3 year of experience..its 10 years sense i earned my degree and still no job offer due to lack of experience, however i have not given up..I believe someone will be willing to give me the opportunity to gain experience in my field of Accounting. It is very heart breaking to constantly received rejected over reject not been hired to gain experience..But i have not given up..thank you for this video..
in an average job market managers are looking for avarage people who fits their personal aspectative and not company's aspecative. If yuo consider that networking is really important, unfortunately I am start loosing hope to find a new job again...
Thank you so much. I got a lot of rejection after applying, i am in a point where i question myself if will i ever get employed? Maybe it will be like this for my entire life, all those negative thoughts. But this video motivates me, encourages me not to ever underestimate myself, jest keep going. Thank you so much, i have an energy now to continue applying even more and building more connections
After a few months after hearing Fleetwood Macs' Tusk, one phrase stuck out the most. "Just tell me that you want me." When I heard that, I slowly began to understand the logic behind that. People need things, but they have to want them for them to be valuable. The same can be put for getting a job. To be needy sounds weak, and if you don't need a job but you're going for it anyway, it gives the idea that you *want it*. That's my take on it. Also, God is much bigger than our fears. We can't rely on ourselves alone for going through things, we have to learn from our experiences.
Thank you, Brigette. I needed this video today! I've done interview after interview and continue to be rejected. I run my own company but since my wife's passing last year I decided to get back into the job market so that I can earn a stable income to support my kids. This video helped to get out of my head and keep on pushing! Thank you
Shalom Brigette Hyacinth... Wow amazing I will keep press forward cause I tired of rejected but you help me grateful thankful. I even want to close my LinkedIn account cause I'm struggling with rejected day after tomorrow.
I have learned lessons like these you shared, you inspired me to proudly share my stories and inspire others. As an agilist, failure is my friend so making peace with it is necessary. Idealism is harmful in situations of rejection. Thank you Brigette!
Dear Brigette, I am currently going though rejection on appraisal with my current organisation. I have done my best still they want reduce head count hold my appraisal Let myself put my paper. It’s really hurt me lot . Many thanks for rejection video I will heel myself I believe in god he has something better planned. I would like request please make videos management politics favourites keep giving chances.
rejection is painful. More than the physical pain. I know i am worth it and i know along the way, i have learned better to position myself for better roles. I got rejected alot the past months despite my best effort. After interviews, silent. Not even rejection letter i have recieved. I called them once, the answer i got was “we are still interviewing other candidates, please bear with us”… and then i never call them again. I just keep applying. A Single mother with 2 young kids, being jobless for 3 months now with not much savings left. I think i might need to ask for help from my family financially if the next 3 months i cant secure a job. I never knew how strong I was until god put me in this ringer and defeat battles that is impossible to defeat. Life goes on apparently.. so i have still have hope
There is something bigger and better in store for you! 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 like and 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀. T𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂. 🥰🥰🥰

I happen to be facing a rejection after an interview. Thank you for this video! some day my chance will come
As a human we feel the powerful of your words, thanks a lot for well prepared video. Subscribed and liked of course.
An excellent reminder not to go nuts for ANY job, no matter how exciting it sounds! Could you maybe share some advice about Mom’s looking for the return onto or looking to switch job after maternity leave? It’s my situation right now and I find it super hard (maybe just my own bias), not to think my career is over.
Congratulations...
I was recommended for promotion within my company this year. The selection were made and I was push back for a later date , I was so upset that I wasn’t chosen for the position right away since I was recommended. Then Corona virus came and all those persons were lay off and I am still working. I remember giving so much thanks to God for not allowing me to be selected at that time.
Trust God is timing is sure
I cried watching this. I have been so depressed because of the rejections that I have been receiving. Thank you so much for making this video Brigette.
Benjamin. Glad you shared this. It's okay to cry we all do and it brings a much needed relief. Keep going. Something good will happen for you.
I wish you all the best in your career ! ( lots of peace and love from France)
Benjamin, your chance will come! And guess what...there will be more chances even after that! Each new day is a new beginning!
Update guys, I got the job. I GOT MY DREAM JOB

You weren't rejected you were redirected, beautifully said and a reminder to stay motivated and hopeful.
"What is meant for you won't pass you by. If it didn't open, it's not your door." Keep going. Your time will come. ❤ **SO TRUE BRIGETTE
As soon you said you wanted that particular job, I said out loud, "but look at you now." I have learned through experience that most rejections are blessings. God has protected me from several bad situations. Great video.
Amen. God plans are always better than our own. Some closed doors are blessings. Have a great day!

Job rejection hurts so bad great advise brigette
When God opens a door no one can close it vis a vis. Rejection is a blessing in disguise.

I really needed to hear this after being rejected from a job yesterday. I agree that God has better plans for me and I need to move on.
After this video, I am preparing myself for the bigger opportunity coming my way. I am destined for greatness
I loved when you said don't keep picking at a scar...it will never heal. What an awesome truth.
Another rejection which brought me here because I’ve also shared some tear🙏🏼
Job rejection really hurts but we keep moving. I always make up my mind to win or loose. It helps maintain my sanity 😂.

Rejection for me turned into a double edge sword. On one side, yes, it hurt. But on the other side, it has allowed me to divorce myself from a company that has failed in its ethical responsibilities. For me, I consider that as a win.
Captian Jean Luc Picard of Star Trek: the Next Generation once said, "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life." I will move on, I will get better, I will survive.
Thankyou Brigette for your excellent postings, videos and advice.
Dear James. One day you say Thank God you dodged that bullet. You were thinking too small. Your future is bright. There is something bigger and better in store for you. You deserve so much more.
@@BrigetteHyacinth Thankyou so much Brigette. In a 2020 where everything seems to have gone wrong, you a bright light on the horizon. Not just to me but to everyone who sees your posts and videos. Thanks!
Brigette, you are incredible!! Thank you for your special and comforting words.
You are a God sent. Thank you for blessing us with profound tips, guidance and free love.
Brigette, Thank you for the video. When I get a rejection, I always say to myself that universe has a better place for me.
Indeed, it is always a redirection and not a step backwards
You deliver your videos with such conviction and inspiration Keep up the good work - you have such a light - you are a star.
Brigette !!!!!
Love this video. It is not only about job hunting but also about other opportunity.
I remember reading how Oprah Winfrey was rejected for a job and look at her now.
Powerful advice. I think we take it personally because we're human. We think we're superhuman or extraordinary, but we're just human. I loved the content; the music's distracting but not overbearing.
In Africa to be specific in Kenya we can rely on family members for networks. We're zero reliable. Some are even afraid of you'll prosper more than them.
Thank you Brigette for all these uplifting and kind suggestions. Bless you!
Perfect timing, we can become so fortunate us on the one situation and miss what's behind it that maybe even better. There can be so many variables involved.
Thank you for the great words of encouragement Bridgette. I have been looking to advance at my job for a while now and those where exactly the words I needed to hear.
I finally started a new job this morning in a position that gives me higher pay, more responsibility, and one that sets me up for a future with bigger things to come. Thanks to all for your encouragement and support. Thanks Bridgette for your wise words - they meant so much even during the times when I came so close but never got the position I wanted. Everything happens for a reason and the right position eventually came.
What you were saying between 2:18 and 2:30 sounds pretty much like what I felt almost two weeks ago when I was rejected from what I considered to be a dream job at a library. I'm trying to realize especially numbers 2, 4, 6, and 7, but its easier said than done. Then again, it's not even been two full weeks, so I should probably give myself grace.
Maybe I really didn't have divine favour regarding the position, or it wasnt meant to be anyway. That being said, I do appreciate you bringing God and spirituality into this; I don't see how I could live without that. Thank you again for your advice, and you are beautiful if you don't mind my saying. :)
This was such a Powerful reminder. Thank you.
I was rejected for a job..I got an email stating you wasn't selected. I cried my heart out and I get over it. It took me over two weeks and I start working on myself. Until one day..somebody must say..YES..!
Just loss my job, this is so helpful! Thanks so much 🙌🏾
Been job hunting since May 2019 and still unsuccessful. It's draining, exhausting and frustrating.
This is so hopeful because I am looking for a job since almost a year ( I lost my previous job because COVID ) I am sending like 50-80 -100 cv per month and nothing ....and is true ...I do feel like I am not worth a job .I am doing something wrong , I don’t know ...but is not a good feeling.
Thx for helping ❤️
I’m a heart-broken from several rejections too . Thanks for sharing❤
I love your content; long time LinkedIn follower and I look forward to every new UA-cam upload. Keep up the great work; you're an amazing source of inspiration and encouragement for everyone - whether they're on the job hunt or not.
Thanks dear Amy. You are awesome. ❤️
LinkedIn gang ♥️
Agreed Amy. She is a breath of fresh air. Finally a HR professional for the people and not management.
Excellent thoughts @Brigette. Thank you for sharing your experience
I enjoyed your seven tips - especially the one from Abraham Lincoln. He really was an amazing US President. He really did bring a nation that was torn apart back together. But, I never thought Abe's wisdom could be used to help people pursue a better life for themselves...until I watched your video. Thank you for sharing the insight.
Watching this after (hmmm...... actually few days later) having salary discussion done with HR (and company having collected all required documents to process offer.......after 7 rounds, few in middle of vacation) and getting Regret mail the very next day and company representatives, who were until now very cordial, approachable and caring, now turned incommunicado like martians......... without giving any reason despite sending them my analysis of process.......needless to say, this video is much needed. Yeah, at this point bit hard (actually more than bit) to swallow but this video advise is the best pill.
Thanks Brigette! God bless!!
Sorry to hear this. At the moment it is a tough pill to swallow but keep preparing and positioning yourself. Your chance will come. 😊
@@BrigetteHyacinth Oh....mmmm.....wow!! Message from Brigette!!! Thank you, thank you mam!
The first thing that came to my mind when I recovered from news, was your statement - Rejection is redirection.
Sure, will keep fighting and let God be my path-director.
Keep inspiring us all, Brigette!
Thank you and god bless!!
VERY PROUD OF YOU #BrigetteHyacinth 🤗❤🙏 Looking Forward To Your Content Here on #UA-cam God Bless Always #StayAmazing Beautiful 🙏😊🙏
Hi Brigette, Thanks for this video. Indeed it's all true. Thanks again.
I've literally gotten over 1500 rejection letters, and these are for entry-level jobs. I took classes. I updated my resumes. Just that at my age...
I started off thinking about the global platform. That's not good enough?
Well said! Definitely a huuuge thumbs up for this wonderful and encouraging video!
Yeah we have to admit that the life is unexpected and might take very unexpected turns. But let’s face it and fight back. Strongly agree with you that if you fail to have your dream job, well there is even something much better awaiting for you. The right door will open for you for sure.
People are just easily frightened and look down upon themselves after one fail but your video has motivated me and so many others I strongly believe! Thank you so much!)
Very well said Brigette!! Great video and awesome advice as all always! Love it!!
Life is not always fair - move on! Never meant for you! Always fuel up, keep going and Never Give Up!! God Bless!
Thank you Brigette , love this , definitely fuel to motivate me to move forward as I know its coming I can feel it !!! Trust God , whatever you visualize will materialize :) In tears thank you 1000% right , changed my perspective and everything is coming just like you said !!!
Thanks for sharing this Vedeo Brigette.I am going through a similar phase of pain and despair and it truly helped me believe that there are better things in store for me. Lots of love and blessings for you.
Loved your authenticity. Been there done that created that. Life is like a seesaw!!!...
Great information. I think I'm be rejected because of my age.
Thank you. I have obtained my Bachelor degree in Accounting in 2010. I have yet been given the opportunity to work in the field. Companies would say entry level which i have applied for then ask for 2 to 3 year of experience..its 10 years sense i earned my degree and still no job offer due to lack of experience, however i have not given up..I believe someone will be willing to give me the opportunity to gain experience in my field of Accounting. It is very heart breaking to constantly received rejected over reject not been hired to gain experience..But i have not given up..thank you for this video..
Keep going Deborah. The right door will open for you. If it didn't open it's not your door.
Yikes … you got a degree in something that’s in demand and considered best degrees to pursue for long term income
I would like your next video on how to answer questions regarding switching from job to job
in an average job market managers are looking for avarage people who fits their personal aspectative and not company's aspecative. If yuo consider that networking is really important, unfortunately I am start loosing hope to find a new job again...
Thank you, I really needed to see this. My greater is coming.
Thank you Brigette for sharing this advice. I love that quote you used by Abraham Lincoln.
Thank You Brigette for the great tips in overcoming rejections.
Thank you Brigette for this highly motivational video
Thank you so much. I got a lot of rejection after applying, i am in a point where i question myself if will i ever get employed? Maybe it will be like this for my entire life, all those negative thoughts. But this video motivates me, encourages me not to ever underestimate myself, jest keep going. Thank you so much, i have an energy now to continue applying even more and building more connections
Aviwe. Your value does not decrease because of someone's inability to see your worth .Keep going. You will get something better.
Love it Brigette.
Fantastic Video Brigette. Lots of great tips. I feel better now!
After a few months after hearing Fleetwood Macs' Tusk, one phrase stuck out the most. "Just tell me that you want me." When I heard that, I slowly began to understand the logic behind that. People need things, but they have to want them for them to be valuable. The same can be put for getting a job. To be needy sounds weak, and if you don't need a job but you're going for it anyway, it gives the idea that you *want it*.
That's my take on it. Also, God is much bigger than our fears. We can't rely on ourselves alone for going through things, we have to learn from our experiences.
Amen Kansei!
@@BrigetteHyacinth Amen!
Thanks for your wonderful advice!!🌟🌟🌟💞💞💞
Thank you Bridgette, I needed to hear this today.
Thank you, Brigette. I needed this video today! I've done interview after interview and continue to be rejected. I run my own company but since my wife's passing last year I decided to get back into the job market so that I can earn a stable income to support my kids. This video helped to get out of my head and keep on pushing! Thank you
Great words for such a time as this.
I love the authenticity. Thank you for sharing.
Shalom Brigette Hyacinth... Wow amazing I will keep press forward cause I tired of rejected but you help me grateful thankful. I even want to close my LinkedIn account cause I'm struggling with rejected day after tomorrow.
I have learned lessons like these you shared, you inspired me to proudly share my stories and inspire others. As an agilist, failure is my friend so making peace with it is necessary. Idealism is harmful in situations of rejection. Thank you Brigette!
This is so powerful! Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing.
Thank you for your feed back Brigette i needed to hear this.
Beautifully presented advice. Currently going through a career change and this helped immensely.
feel the same ! u are good as where you are on linked in !!!
Dear Brigette,
I am currently going though rejection on appraisal with my current organisation.
I have done my best still they want reduce head count hold my appraisal Let myself put my paper. It’s really hurt me lot . Many thanks for rejection video I will heel myself I believe in god he has something better planned.
I would like request please make videos management politics favourites keep giving chances.
You are such a force for positivity. Thank you for sharing. This video came at the perfect time to help me dust myself off and try again.
rejection is painful. More than the physical pain. I know i am worth it and i know along the way, i have learned better to position myself for better roles. I got rejected alot the past months despite my best effort. After interviews, silent. Not even rejection letter i have recieved. I called them once, the answer i got was “we are still interviewing other candidates, please bear with us”… and then i never call them again. I just keep applying. A Single mother with 2 young kids, being jobless for 3 months now with not much savings left. I think i might need to ask for help from my family financially if the next 3 months i cant secure a job. I never knew how strong I was until god put me in this ringer and defeat battles that is impossible to defeat. Life goes on apparently.. so i have still have hope
