Dealing With Career Setbacks.
It's not easy to deal with career setbacks or indeed any kind of setback, particularly at this time of year.
Here are three little tips that will help you to refocus on what you are going towards instead of floundering around, wallowing in self pity and becoming depressed about what you are going through.
1: Don't keep retelling your bad experience to everyone you meet - difficult at this time of year I know, but resist the temptation.
2: Don't keep the bad experience alive by constantly thinking about it: find a distraction - at least that should be easy at this time of year.
3: Critically, find someone who encourages you to think positively about the future and if you haven't got a mentor make it a New Year's resolution to get one!
