As I write this, I am waiting for my interviewer. It´s for a Junior Consultant position in an Atlanta-based management consultancy firm. It was last Wednesday when I got the call. Was happy to know that I had made the firm´s callback list. After I hung up, I went over my most ingenious remarks of the first interview and congratulated myself. But back to reality.
The appointment was at 12.00 and it is now 12.15. Where the hell is Mr. Clarke?

Looking for a job? Getting some “no’s”? It’s tough to deal with rejection. Here are some ideas:
1. Pout. Go into a room by yourself, feel miserable, and cry (keep this activity to under 20 minutes).
2. Treat yourself. A massage, an evening out, a new pair of earrings. ONLY stuff you can afford.
3. Throw a fit. Allow yourself a lovely little tantrum. In private. Beat up some pillows or sofa cushions. Let ‘em have it.
4. Get yerself some love. Talk it out with a close understanding friend, family member, or loved one. Let them comfort you.
