Get Outta Here!
Boy, things really are getting tough out there, as evidenced by this news from the Boston Globe newspaper that Harvard University and its Office of Career Services recently saw fit to offer a seminar on how to handle rejection. According to the story, “Participants, who wore snappy buttons with the word rejected stamped in red, also received a road map of sorts on handling failure, a pink booklet of rejection letters and personal stories from Harvard faculty, students, and staff members.”
One student who attended the seminar, senior Olga Tymejczyk, commented that, “Rejection is inevitable sometimes, even if you go to Harvard.” The Latin American studies major wants to work in higher-education administration or healthcare research.
In related news, if the program is looking for any adjunct experts in rejection, they are welcome to give this author a call.
