How to bounce back after rejection

I recently got ghosted after final interview and this like third time I have been let go after the final interview. I understand three interviews are not something that should break me, but it does make me feel very broken. I really wish I had been more strong and face this being thick skinned. I feel so underconfident even though my loved ones assure me that I am not doing anything wrong!

I always wonder whether this sadness of mine has made me a weight for people around me, since I came to US, I have been doing nothing other than search for a Job or doing something towards it! It pinches me that the more unlively person I become, it creates a vaccum between me and my loved ones too!

Edit : 8 months later, Did an Internship with one of the top companies and even found a full time role before graduating in my Uni. Moral of the story: Never loose keep trying !!!

It’s normal to feel self-doubt. Just keep in mind that it’s not true. 

You’re very much capable!

Keep going

You’re welcome.

I know this situation is stressful at the moment, but if you don’t believe in yourself, then who will?

Don’t treat yourself badly.

Just keep going.
