A job seeker applies to various IT job postings, attends interviews, and speaks with IT recruiters Boston.  Sometimes you just are not a good fit for the position or the company.  So how should you handle this after being turned down by so many jobs?

Try not to take it personal.  Things happen for a reason so just look at it as another opportunity to find a better IT job.  When you get turned down for a position there are many good things that can come out of it.  You may not have gotten that job, but that technical recruiter or hiring manager has your resume and now knows who you are.  Somewhere down the line a position may open up and one of the IT recruiters or hiring managers might remember you and choose you as a candidate.

If you do not do well on an interview or do not get called back for a second one it will be alright.  Take time to reflect upon your interview.  Think about how you prepared as well as how you did.  You may not have answered all the questions confidently.  Or maybe you did not connect your experiences well enough with the job description.  This is your chance to improve on any of your weaknesses.  The more interviews you go to, the better you will become as long as you analyze how you interviewed.

Job seekers do not fret. There are many more IT jobs out there.  Getting turned down is just an opportunity to improve your job search and interview skills.  Remember that every technical recruiter you meet is another connection so keep applying more IT jobs.
