How To Bounce Back When You Don't Get The Job You Really Wanted

How do I "bounce back" when I don't get a job I really wanted?

You really do have to get over it. Quickly. The longer you wallow, the harder it's gonna be to get out of it. It's like a pit. And when you get that rejection, any human is viscerally gonna feel angry, depressed, whatever it is. But every additional moment of wallowing spirals you down deeper into the pit and it's much harder to get you out of the pit. So at the risk of seeming insensitive, the actual best advice I can give you is tough love. Get over it fast. Then say, "Okay, what is the next positive step I can take? That's only one job. There's gonna be a better job for me. I'm gonna move on." You've got to do it, as simplistic as it sounds, that is the answer.
