Welcome back. You belong here.

Today I spoke to a friend who didn’t get the job he was hoping for. He felt suited for the position, but it went to someone who had been in the organization longer. He felt pretty down and wondered what to do next.

What advice can you give in these situations? The first thing is to not make any drastic conclusions right away. Many times, the emotion and pain of not getting the job can cloud wise decisions. Second, seek wisdom, wait on God, seek council. Lastly, ask yourself, is there truth in the decision, is there something to learn from. But most of all, never stop believing!

For my friend, I agree he didn’t have the longevity and perhaps this isn’t quite the time, but I also see tremendous fit between the position and his skills. Somewhere, someday he will find his nitch.

Have a great day.

Into the future,
