Not Recommended? Here Is What To Do After That

Rejections hurt, especially when it from something you dream about, work hard for, they hurt even more when it is the nth time that you are getting rejected. Every candidate who suffers rejection in SSB, can very well relate to the sadness which comes after it. The candidates who do not get a chance to hear their chest numbers in those lucky to be officer list, know that the next few days are going to be difficult. But it is not the end of the world, though it is end of one SSB and to you both seem like same thing at that time. Here’s is to what should follow after getting rejected from SSB:

• There is no point cribbing about the selection system, it is not going to change, so you need to stop doing that first. Stop being critical about the selection system.
• Yes that candidate who got selected did not deserve it, but still got through, and see here you are, having all the qualities oozing out still not recommended. But you can’t do anything about it, again stop comparing and looking critically as to who got selected.
• No board is a rejection board. They want you as much as you want that job. Keep the myths away. Many people will tell you many things, need not believe everything.
• Repeaters have a hard chance, no, absolutely not. If you have chances ahead it is never the end, you can try with better preparation every time again.
• The earlier you stop thinking about your previous SSB, the better. Old bad things need to go for new good things to come, but they should go only after leaving the lesson. So draw the lesson out of your attempt.
  
• See the positives, ignore the negatives. See the good things you learnt after going to SSB (for me it was learning to play pool), which you would have not learned otherwise, it’ll fill you with good thoughts.
• Be happy for the candidates who got selected, learn positive things from them, congratulate them from heart. If you learn to be happy for others you reach an super level of awesomeness!
• Sit down, analyze from day one, to the last day, write down the questions asked, your answers, it’ll help you later to understand what went wrong. Since everything is fresh you can remember now, but will be difficult later.
• Note down all the important dates, for all the forms you need to apply for. Keep on applying for the new entries whichever comes up next. Never lose hope. Never give up, the quality of a true officer.
• Start preparing for your next SSB. Seek for an expert help, if you feel it is needed. Be very wise before choosing any coaching. So do all the groundwork needed for preparation.
• Falling down is easy, getting up is not. You need to really get up and put in all your efforts so that you can achieve your dream goal.
