Navigating the practicum placement or job search process can be both exciting and challenging. Rejection and setbacks are common experiences that can test your resilience and confidence. Join the DiNitto Career Center and Counselors in Academic Residence (CARE) for “Strength Through Setbacks: Navigating Rejection in Practicum Placement Process,” a dynamic workshop designed to equip you with practical strategies and emotional tools to handle rejection effectively and bounce back stronger.

In this workshop, you will:

• Understand Rejection: Explore the common reasons behind candidate rejections and how to view them as opportunities for growth rather than failures.
• Build Resilience: Learn techniques to strengthen your emotional resilience, including mindfulness practices, cognitive reframing, and self-compassion exercises.
• Develop a Positive Mindset: Gain insights into maintaining a positive outlook and staying motivated despite setbacks.
• Strategize for Success: Discover actionable strategies to improve your applications and interview skills, turning past rejections into learning experiences.
• Connect with Peers: Engage in group discussions and activities to share experiences, support each other, and build a network of resilience.

Date: Tuesday, October 29th
Time: 12 – 1 pm
Location: DiNitto Career Center at Steve Hicks School of Social Work, Walter Webb Hall Room 2.234
