How to Turn Interview Rejection into Direction

Our careers are often the main focus of our lives as we spend so much time at work. Unfortunately, many of employees base their self worth on their abilities at the workplace, ignoring any other wonderful qualities they may possess. There should be a defining line between our worth as an employee and our worth as a human being. More often than not, these individuals look at these as the same thing.   Rejection in the workplace can be devastating to these individuals, as well as detrimental to their self image. When they are passed by for a promotion or receive a poor evaluation, they take it personally. They feel that they are unworthy and no longer desirable. This can lead to feelings of depression and anger. There can be several explanations for this attitude. Many of these employees have replaced their idea of family with the people at the workplace.  This is understandable, considering most people spend more time with their colleagues than they do with families. They also spend more time working than doing anything else, so this is the simplest thing to base their self worth on. If you feel may fall into this category, you may want to consider changing your views about yourself and your career. There are some simple ways to accomplish this. 

Once a poor performance rating has been given, keep in mind that it is just one review. It is not a criticism of your entire career history. Try not to dwell on it. By pointing out your weak areas, an evaluation can be a helpful tool that you can utilize to promote your growth and improvement as an employee.
