[quote=Anonymous]I believe that the purpose of life is for us to learn and grow.  Sometimes a no happens because we will learn more from a no than a yes.  When I graduated college, I had a part time gig not in my field and was literally living off of $500 a month (fortunately did not have to pay rent or would have been homeless).  I went on tons of interviews and either never got the job or felt strongly that I should say no (that one was really hard).  It took me 9 months to find something.  Trust me, there were a lot of prayers.  When I finally did find a job, it was a just okay fit.  I stayed for one year, but was very unhappy there and began looking 10 months in for something different.

I literally interviewed for only one job.  I landed it and moved across the country and it made my career.  All subsequent success had been tied to that job.  The thing is that if I had found a different job when I was first looking,
1) I wouldn't have been available when dream job opened up.
2) I wouldn't have worked at my crappy first job, which happened to give me the exact right experience for dream job, and 
3) I wouldn't have been on enough interviews to know right away that dream job was perfect and might have passed on it.

That difficult time sucked in the moment, but taught me a great deal personally and professionally.

So when you get a "no." The answer isn't to ask "why;" it is to look inward: "what do I need to learn?"[/quote]
