Ever get rejected for a job you know you were qualified for?

It’s confusing. You wonder where you went wrong? Was it something you said in the interview? Was there something off in your body language?
Was it personal? You checked all the boxes!

The reason given is always vague. A generic email thanking you for your time but saying that they selected someone who was a “better fit.”

You’re left thinking that you weren’t good enough which simply isn’t true.
Truth is, you didn’t get the job is because you ARE qualified and a perfect skills match for the job. The hiring manager knew you were perfect, would be very successful, would challenge them in the name of excellence, and they simply didn’t want that.

They wanted someone who would execute their vision, make their job easier, and make them look good without upstaging them. There’s limited movement at their level, they want to keep their job, and don’t want someone under them shining to brightly.

That’s not you.

This isn’t an insult and you shouldn’t take it as rejection. Take it as a compliment and seek opportunities where you don’t have to dull your shine.

The next time you have the opportunity to toot your own horn and you feel tempted to be humble, remember this video.

No lengthy caption necessary. Book the vacation and put the out of office notice on everyone’s calendar. 🏖️ ☀️ 😃

You know that colleague that’s always overwhelmed even when there’s nothing to do? No matter how slow the days is, even when there’s nothing aren’t any meetings taking place and the office is empty - they always seem like the hardest worker in the office?

There’s an important lesson you can learn from them.

People will value your work as much as you do. If you place value on your contributions and are able to articulate that value, those around you will see you as more valuable too.

Stop saying that you don’t have anything going on while doing the work of 3 people. Stop saying that your days are slow or easy when they aren’t. Stop replaying to request with “sure” “I can’t handle it” “I’ve got it!” You think you’re communicating competence. What you’re really saying is that you aren’t working on anything important or complicated. You’re burning out while simultaneously communicating that you aren’t adding value.

This gives the impression that you’re expendable so from now on, you’re very very busy. You have a ton going on. It’s going to take time for you to get to that thing and you’re going to check your calendar before committing. Got it? Good!

As a senior leader, the time it takes for you to reply to emails sends a message. It sends a message about your time, ability to prioritize, and thoughtfulness in decision making.

Replying to everyone quickly says, “I have nothing better to do.” It says, “I am sending a response without giving the request a good amount of thought.” It says, “I’m not important.”
None of these are messages you want to send as an executive. Especially if you’re a woman, person of color, or new in the role.

When emailing, take your time. Think through what is being asked. Consider how this impacts the business and ask clarifying questions before offering a response or decision.

Your decisions carry great impact. Act like it, even when emailing.
