Dealing with Failure, Setbacks and Rejection.

[@joshsomerville6048]

Hey, I was offered a policy role with the Civil Service today. A job I've wanted for years, I genuinely believed your videos were a significant part of that. Thank you!

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

That's awesome!

[@ordinarytraveler8651]

Failures are the pillars of success..

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

100% true

[@themanftheworld8439]

Not always because many who experience failures dont reach that success because they give up because of the fear of yet more failure.

My mum just sent me this video as I've just walked away from a job and currently searching for a new one. I haven't been having much success and was feeling really discouraged, but you've helped change my perspective a lot. Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your journey! Oh and.. thanks mum if you see this! 😄💕

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

Great mum right there! You're welcome, keep going! It also takes a lot to walk away from a job so well done :)

[@veggieaussiechick]

I’ve been in a similar position, I’ve had three interviews and one was just awful so I’ve been too anxious to keep trying but I’m hanging in there.

[@matthewhollis250]

Had trouble these last few years with some aspects of my life, work among them. In the last month or so, however, I managed to get a job at the civil service with the help of your channel. Not everything is solved and I still have a long road to walk, but it's been a good and motivating start. Sure your channel might be pretty small in the grand scheme of things at the moment. But you played a part in helping me take one step forwards in my life. Cheers for that.

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

Comments like these are genuinely why I make videos. I’m super happy that you’ve taken that step forwards and I’m glad I could play apart in that. Wishing you all the best in the next steps forward, thanks.

Wonderful

[@themanftheworld8439]

One rejection or failure is bad enough but you never ever recover from several of them in aspects of life.The snowball.gets bigger.

[@nek0hatsune]

"Rejection is part of the process to get success". Love that.

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

It really is!

[@themanftheworld8439]

What if more rejection follows?

[@nek0hatsune]

@@themanftheworld8439 success will eventually come too

[@randomgirlxoxoxo]

Thanks Jac! This has made me feel so much more optimistic about getting a job and makes me feel way more able to handle rejection, actually... Thank you :)

[@cameronleehorace]

I am in my early 20s and go through periods of time where I get really down from rejections and there have been times where I gave in but I always seem to come back eventually. I get so many rejections that I now always expect rejection, if there is a positive outcome from something then it is a bonus. I still get down on myself for failure but I do not take it as personally as when I was in my teens.

[@dharringtonwhite]

As someone currently struggling with several college courses. I needed this. Thanks man, much appreciation from the U.S.

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

Glad it helped man :)

[@NenadSapungin]

I had no idea you and your brother made music! This was such a cool video and I definitely enjoyed it. It's always great hearing from someone who has gone through so much to get to where they are. It keeps the rest of us motivated to continue to follow our dreams. Thanks for the video, Jac, as always!

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

Glad you enjoyed! I really enjoyed making this one too so I'm going to make more like this sit down style :)

[@NenadSapungin]

@@JacWilliamsVideo Good idea!

[@mikeunsworth775]

Thanks for sharing Jac. I stumbled on your vid just looking for something to... well i dunno what but I've let myself down today. I really like your perspective hopefully I can remember it and apply it in my own life.

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

Glad it helped Mike :)

[@Caittheegreat]

Even if you get 20 or so views on a video, a few of us are regular watchers and do value your content :)

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

That's very kind, thank you :)

[@fionnamurphy2574]

Jac, I really have loved all your videos. You've been a great help. I have just been offered a position in civil service (pending pre employment checks) and I couldn't have done it without your help. Not only the videos here on KZbin but also been listening to you on Spotify. I found believer to be very motivating . Thanks again

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

I've been having a tough few weeks and this comment made me smile. Thanks a lot, Fionna.

[@fionnamurphy2574]

@@JacWilliamsVideo aww you're most welcome. Thank you again. Hope you start to feel better. I know as a fellow extrovert that it can be draining not being around people and the working from home is tough. Take your own advice and keep going. You have inspired and helped a lot of people jac you should be proud of yourself! I know we all appreciate your videos. I must confess dance isn't normally my genre but I was curious and I really enjoyed it. Even added a few to my many many playlists lol. Keep strong and enjoy your weekend. Look forward to your next video and song 😊

[@Ellie_the_dog]

Jac, any chance could go through the other CS behaviours? Found those vids super helpful. Cheers

[@lorenzodilisio8167]

Hello! Nice content :) Just a question. Did you shoot this video with the sony ZV1 or the A7c? which picture profile?

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

This would have been on the A7C. PP wise I can't remember sorry. The image doesn't look that great anyway. I would avoid s-logs as they take a lot of time to edit.

[@paulasharvin4645]

Hi Jac, have you done a video on Leadership? Thanks

[@joelhenry1111]

Great video man! 100+ rejections from revealed, let’s make it 200.

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

There will be some success along the way my friend, just keep going :)

[@joelhenry1111]

Appreciate that, Jac!

[@patacakepatacake5210]

Hi Jac, I have learned a lot from your channel, thank you for your great advice. I have an expression of interest I am applying for and have to demonstrate 3 behaviors in 500 words. Do you have any material relating to this task that may help? I'd really appreciate any help you can offer. Many thanks.

[@fionnamurphy2574]

I failed my first interview (passed 5 out of 7 sifts) and this video really spurred me on. Thanks!!

[@JacWilliamsVideo]

You got this! Keep going.

[@fionnamurphy2574]

@@JacWilliamsVideo I did just that and received a formal offer for a civil service position yesterday. Start in the new year 😊

[@rockwatergallery9946]

Great advice thanks Jac 😀
