There are lessons to learn from rejection!

Today, I came across one good article in FT and would like to share with you all. Though- it is related to MBA professionals, points mentioned in the article are applicable for all of us. Author has described his internship days during MBA and what mistakes he made while applying for the campus interviews.

Important takeaways from this article are:

- Prospective companies look for commitments as much as skills (this is true for the current company for which you are working.)
- People networking is important for the success. (We often have seen that more than skills, contacts or relationship matters. Companies are not the bricks and walls and they are run by people and that why understanding people, people management is most important thing. This is even true in our personal lives.
- Listen to you heart and don't follow the crowd! (This is most important thing- not just for the professional but in the personal lives too! That's why most of the CEOs always follow their gut-feeling. One has to make very tough decisions in their life.)

Can anyone feel it the pain of rejection than someone who has appeared maximum campus interviews during his MBA days? :-)

Happy Reading !
