What I Learned From Not Getting a Promotion
Sometimes failing turns out to be the best thing that ever happened.
Of course, it may not feel like that in the moment. When you don't get a promotion you hoped for, and maybe even deserved, it can be crushing. Failing to get the job you wanted can be as painful as a bad breakup, but in the long run it can be a learning opportunity.
If you don't get a promotion you had hoped for, it's OK to have a brief period of mourning. Cry, scream, punch a pillow, and do whatever else you need to do to release the frustration. Do it quickly, though, and don't dwell on your misery.
