A visit with The Skool of Life

by Rich DeMatteo on January 6, 2010

Had a chance to write a guest post for Srinivas Rao from The Skool of Life.  He also runs a podcast series called, “The Interviews with up and coming Bloggers”, which I took part in as well.  Srini is doing some great things over there, and I suggest checking him out when you have some time.

Here’s a link to my guest post – Why interviewing should never be ‘life or death’

The post brings an important message in how to deal/react with rejection.  It’s clearly talking about interview rejection, but I feel this lesson can be applied to all areas of your life. Here are some reasons to read my guest post:

  • You’ll hear my personal story of rejection
  • Why you should never get too excited for a company you are interviewing with
  • How to look on the bright side of rejection
  • Why you shouldn’t make interviewing a ‘life or death’ situation

Feel free to leave your comments here or on the post – Why interviewing should never be ‘life or death’

Also – when you have some time feel free to check out my interview with Srinivas

HEy Rich,

Thanks for the plug. It was great to connect with you. I’m sure both our readers got quite a bit out of it. I look forward to collaborating more in the future.
