Hey Raul,

You learned so much from this process that I'd challenge you to not think of it as a failure, but as a life experience. I'm searching for employment now and I have to try and remember that every rejection is a chance to learn something new about myself. Unfortunately, most companies don't seem interested in sharing why they reject candidates and we have to play detective, but I personally believe there's always something there for me to discover.

Hey Scott.

Actually I didn't fell myself as a failure, I just failed in the process. This text was more about a reflection about my expectations.

I had a breakdown situation 2 years ago that taught me exactly what you're saying: every single experience in life, good or bad can teach us some lessons and help us build a better person.

Thanks for the message.
