Next Play
Hall of fame Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski has a saying:
“Next play.”
He instills this mindset in his players. He says, if you make a costly mistake, or a referee makes a bad call, what are you gonna do next? Get super mad? Or just go on to the next play?
The same with the job hunt. Since rejection sucks, it’s easy to wallow in your feelings.
Don’t suppress them, but don’t waste time, either. Empower yourself, and make the next play in your job search an awesome one!
