It’s hurt before
When I connect to a job
It’s people
and company.
To have a rejection notice
slap me across the face.
I found a way
to not get my hopes up while
simultaneously learning more
about a potential job.
Research like a scientist,
heartless, clinical, and inquisitive.
You gain knowledge
without the connection forming
to the job,
the company,
and its people
So if rejection does come,
It doesn’t sting as much
as last time.
