Even legendary baseball players who hit .400 still made an out six times out of every 10 times at bat. Salespeople who can close three sales out of 10 experience rejection seven times. Before you find the job you want, you will be rejected. Just keep in mind that, although it stings, rejection takes you closer to your goal of employment. It is hard not to know when you will get a new job.
Uncertainty can produce nagging feelings of insecurity and indecisiveness about how to proceed.
If you allow uncertainty to take over, your progress in the job search will be frozen. You need to keep moving on your job search. Lose momentum, and you impede you chances of finding a new job because it is even more difficult to start up again after stopping. All three of these blocks can be alleviated by talking with a trusted friend or confidante. Find someone outside your family circle with whom you can communicate easily.
