Rejections happen when things don’t go the way we had hoped for, and they can hurt. But they also teach us to see things differently. Take this story from a teenager at CoVersity…
Aparna, started looking for Internships in the field of sustainable construction. Since she had just then started exploring mud construction, she was looking for hands on experience for the same. So when she contacted people to enquire about internship opportunities, she was quite honest about her lack of experience and was ok with rejection.The insight she shares about this rejection is beautiful.
Looking for internships is a chance for me to make connections, talk about myself and my interests. Even if reaching out doesn’t lead to an internship, it’s still a way for people to know about me, about what my interests are and how I am doing it.
Isn’t this the most important lesson in marketing yourself?
