How We Perceive Failure With Time

HR Pros – Here are 6 things that seem important now
 
…you WON’T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT in 5 years.
 
 1 — That Interview Rejection.
 
Interviewing is tough.
Getting “NO” is part of the journey.
20 “NO’s” get you closer to that “yes” that matters.
Try asking for feedback to improve your results.
If you get it, great. If you don’t, move on.
Rejections today build your resilience tomorrow.
 
 2 — That Negative Performance Review.
 
One bad review hurts, but won’t break your HR career.
–So respond politely.
–Seek to understand.
–If valid, improve your HR skills.
–If not, learn from the experience and move on.
Look at reviews objectively. Take the emotion out.
 
 3–That Annoying Co-worker.
 
Co-workers come in all personality types.
But obsessing over difficult ones gets you nowhere.
Consider it valuable training in dealing with tough people.
Focus & obsess over your HR clients – not your co-workers.
 
 4 –That top performer that quit.

HR leaders: know that top performers are in demand.
Their departure is a natural part of doing business.
Do your best to reward & keep them.
Have backups ready to go, if you can.
Be grateful for them.
But recognize that everyone will leave at some point.

 5–Being brand new in a challenging HR role.
 
Imposter syndrome is common when you’re new.
Focus on learning, improving, and doing great work.
Know that your HR skills compound over time.
So give it time & build your experience.
And people will seek out your expertise.
 
 6–That hiring manager who ghosted you.
 
This practice stings and is tacky.
You’ll never really know exactly why.
But many times, it’s not about you:
–So don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
–Don’t let it define your worth.
–Keep interviewing relentlessly.
–Keep creating options for yourself.
 
HERE’S THE BOTTOM LINE:

Everyone in HR has regrets.
These are a natural part of every career journey.
Recognize them when they occur & learn from them.
Prepare to rebound quickly when they inevitably happen.
