Imagine that you received a rejection email after an interview that you really wanted. What will you do first?

Select an answer:

I open my email again and try to read between the lines, what was wrong. I will go for a walk and try to process my emotions away from screens. I will write back with thanks and ask for feedback. I will quickly start applying for other job offers to forget. I am withdrawing into myself and processing the feeling of failure for a longer time.

Which statement best reflects your feelings after failure?

Select an answer:

I probably wasn't ready for it yet. That's part of the journey, I'm moving on. I guess I'm not good enough. There were definitely others who were better. Maybe I didn't want it as much as I thought I did.

What image comes to your mind first when you hear the word "rejection"?

Select an answer:

Closed door. A stone that I tripped over. Mirror. Turned back. A road that branches out in multiple directions.

How do you respond when someone asks how your last interview went?

Select an answer:

I avoid answering or change the topic. I will say openly that it didn't work out and I will summarize it briefly. I will start to apologize and explain why it probably didn't work out. I'm making light of it with a joke. I share what I have learned from it and what I will change.

Which of these ideas soothes you the most after a failure?

Select an answer:

Silence in nature, where no one judges. A table with paper and a pen, where I can think everything through. A close person who tells me that it will be alright. Training where I "release" my tension. Reading a book about someone who failed but succeeded.

What would you most like to hear from others when something doesn't go well?

Select an answer:

"I know that you gave it your all." "It doesn't mean that you are not good enough." "Try it again, but differently." "Don't forget that this will also take you somewhere." "It is not the end of the world, just a new beginning."

What idea comes to your mind when you think of the upcoming interview?

Select an answer:

I must prepare myself so that I do not fail. I am looking forward to a new opportunity to show who I am. I hope that this time I will have luck. I want to understand what didn't work before. I'm not sure if I want to go through that again.

Imagine that you received specific feedback - something you did wrong. How do you react?

Select an answer:

At first, it will affect me, but then I will think it over. I will start to defend myself, even if only in my head. I'll write it down so I don't repeat it. I feel embarrassed and need time to process it. I will gratefully accept it because it can help me.

Which of these statements do you find the most truthful?

Select an answer:

Failure is just proof that I tried. If it didn't work out, I definitely did something wrong. I don't always have everything in my hands. Resilience is built through disappointments. Some doors are closed because they do not lead to what I need.

What helps you the most to understand yourself after rejection?

Select an answer:

Writing your own thoughts and feelings. A conversation with someone who understands me. Return to childhood, where similar feelings arose. Analysis of what happened and why. Time and distance – only then do I see things more clearly.
