      Well, rejection stings, but it doesn't mean you're not good enough. Sometimes, it's about internal hires or company decisions. Don't generalize; see it as a chance to improve. We all aim to ace interviews, but rejection happens. Understanding it's a possibility makes you mentally tougher and opens up unseen opportunities. But overthinking keeps you stuck. Instead, shift focus to action and move forward. Speaking of career paths, I stumbled upon some interesting info – a phlebotomist in Virginia earns $35,081 per year.
