March Madness Disappointments


I have been glued to the TV, as perhaps many of you have been, watching the many basketball playoff games.  Both the NCAA and the NIT basketball tournaments match the best team in the U.S. in winner take all battles.

Everyone showers congratulations on the winners; however, what about the losers?  These teams have invested many countless hours of practice and competing in numerous games leading to these championships games.  

So what about the losers?  What is their take away from these contests?  Will they give up the game?  Will they become sad and remorseful?  I am suggesting that they will return to their colleges with a renewed energy to return next season using valuable experiences gained from this year’s contest ready to compete in next  year’s March Madness.

I am thinking that perhaps there is a similarity between the losers of the March Madness and job seekers who have been rejected from a job which they sought.  Taking a clue from the losers of the March Madness games, they should learn from their job search experience, rework their game plan, and return to the court (job market) with a renewed energy and dedication to find a job.  

Please post a comment in this blog or email me at glynjordan@gmail.com your suggestions for individuals who have been rejected from jobs they sought.   
Thanks!
