Then I discovered a game of intentional rejection that changed my life. By Jia Jiang Four days before my son was to be born, I walked away from my job at a Fortune 100 company to begin building my startup. I built a team of engineers and we were four months into our venture when I was approached with a major investment opportunity. It was an investment that was going to take our company to the next level and allow me to live the life I had always dreamed of. Then something unexpected happened. While at dinner for a friends birthday, I received an email from the investor that read: "Were going to pass." I was crushed. I had to excuse myself from the table so my friends didnt see me cry. The next few days I mulled over this defeat and realized just how discouraged I truly was. I thought I had made a mistake by leaving my job, and maybe it was time to count my losses and get another "real job." Luckily, I realized that having that thought meant I had a problemmy fear of rejection. If I was going to keep moving forward with my company Id have to shake this fear of being rejected again. Whether it was rejection by customers or another investor, to succeed as an entrepreneur I knew that I would need to become invincible to find success. 4. So, in the spirit of the 21st-century entrepreneur I turned to Google to help solve my problem. I Googled: "How to overcome the fear of rejection?" I found a game called Rejection Therapy. The purpose of the game is to help you overcome your fear of rejection by intentionally seeking out rejection. I loved it. I decided I would try "100 Days of Rejection Therapy" to help me overcome this fear. The game only recommended 30 days, but I needed a higher dosage. I would also film my rejection attempts and upload them to my blog so that the world would keep me accountable. What came next was something I could have never imagined. The first day I approached a security officer and asked him for $100. He said no. I was terrified and ran away quickly after the rejection. The second day I asked Five Guys to give me a burger refill. The cashier said no. I had fun with this one and stuck around to joke with the employee. It felt better than my first attempt. The third day I asked a manager at Krispy Kreme to rearrange my donuts into the shape of the Olympic Rings. She said yes. Not only did she say yes, but she gave them to me for free! I was amazed at the human kindness and customer service, and apparently, so was the rest of the world. My video went viral on YouTube with over 5,000,000 views and I began to receive emails from people all over the world, telling me that my story of intentionally fighting my fear of rejection was somehow inspiring to them. What I thought was a personal issue wasnt a personal problem after all. It was something I shared with millions of people all over the world. As my rejection journey continued, I began to feel more and more fearless when asking for things. I realized I could focus on the controllable factors, and by the end of my 100-day journey it actually became difficult for me to receive a "no." I even intentionally made outrageous requests such as asking a stranger if I could fly his airplane (with no experience), knocking on a strangers front door to ask if I could play soccer in his backyard, and pulling over a police officer to ask if I can sit in his front seat and act like Im driving his car. 5. The crazy thing?They all said yes. In the end, my 100-day journey concluded with 51 yeses and 49 nos. In the process of my rejection journey, here is what I learned about rejection: 1. Handling rejection is a muscle. If you dont constantly work outside your comfort zone, youll lose it and youll become weak and timid. 2. Rejection is a numbers game. Fight through enough nos and you will eventually find a yes. 3. Avoiding rejection doesnt mean you avoid failure. Most people believe avoiding rejection is a good thing, by avoiding something bad weve dodged a bullet and we are somehow net positive. Thats not true. When we shy away from rejection we reject ourselves and our ideas before the world ever has a chance to reject them. This is the worst form of rejection and, as default; we are ignored by the world. The greatest lesson Ive learned from rejection is no matter what, dont be ignored by the world. As for me? The initial investment rejection turned into me sharing my message, first on the street, and then on stage at TEDx and now in my new book Rejection Proof. As people began to follow my journey and email me during the 100 days of rejection I realized I had found the answer to one of the worlds greatest problems: How do we conquer the fear of rejection? Jia Jiang is the founder of 100 Days of Rejection, a well-known speaker and author of Rejection Proof, a new book about how to overcome rejection. More information on Jia and the book can be found at www.Fearbuster.com 6. STARTED IN 2000 Q: Why did you make the decision to work at Chipotle? A: When I originally got hired it was just a part-time job to provide a second source of income. I actually walked in to help someone I knew apply for a job there. The manager there asked me if I wanted to fill out an application as well. In the end, I was offered a position. Q: How long did it take you to be promoted? A: It took 18 months to go from crew member to General Manager. At that time we didn't have the Restaurateur program but once it was rolled out, it took me about 14 months to achieve that elite position. Q: How has Chipotle impacted your life? A: It has changed the way I eat and I've lost my taste for fast food, I'm more conscious about what I eat and where it came from. When possible, I choose organic and healthier options. Even more important is that I am able to provide a better way of life to my son. Q: What is your favorite menu item? A: A pair of soft corn tacos, one chicken or carnitas and one steak, both with green tomatillo salsa, fresh tomato salsa, a little sour cream and lettuce. Some chips and a side of sour cream, corn salsa and green salsa mixed complete the meal for me. Q: What advice do you have for someone interested in Chipotle? A: The first thing I would share with them is Chipotle's vision and mission to change the way that people think about and eat fast food. I would encourage people to believe in building a career here, not just a job. There are so many opportunities to grow.

Get ready to rumble, in an all-out, crazy series of hiring events for new sales associates; mix that with the ongoing Back-to-School Shopping currently happeningat every store here in the valley- each featuring a ton of customers all shoppinglike there's no tomorrow SOUNDS LIKE FUN? COMING SOON TO A RETAIL STORE NEAR YOU A HIRING PALOOZA They havent startedpick your store and go get in the front the coming line of applicants! PS: Be sure to buy one of the world-famous HIRING PALOOZA mugs or tee-shirts @ 50% OFF with your employee discountif you get hired! 33. From the desk of Bithe U. Handoff Ph.D. Dr. Handoff is a world known expert in hunting down and sniffing out employment trends and clues in the Entry Level Job Market of 2014. According to statistical evidence supplied by the US Department of Labor, Back-to-School is the best opportunity to secure either full-time and/or part-time employment and that those hired during the back-to-school period have a three times greater chance of retaining a position after the holidays. The reality is of this lies in the transient nature of retail employment and the occupations summer demographics. Over the coming weeks, retail stores across the valley are set to lose a large percentage of their workers. Remember all those rude teenagers who ran the stores all summer long? Well, in the next couple of weeks they will be gone. Historydisappeared! They are all going back to school and most local stores will be empty of most sales associates and cashiers especially in the mornings and for most of the day. The Used Job Shack is going to run a special job book issue on Big Store Retail and Back-to-School. This will be a good reference tool to use because of the Used Job Shack Insider Columns for each store. The Insider is a collect of people who have already gone to the interview, been hired and have selected to share the experience with youakawhat questions were askedwhat you need to know for the interview and/or just the structure of the hiring decision. http://www.linkedin.com/groups/A untie-Sue-Uncle-Bobs-USED-4550443?trk=my_groups-b-grp-v NOT REAL PROFESSOR 34. HIRING BACK-TO-SCHOOL PALOOZA PT 2 Dr. Handoff went on to say When you think about back-to-school you think of big and small retail stores (like we are going to do with next weeks Back-to-School). If you start and end you thoughts there, you are really missing the dynamics of this labor market and this could cost you the opportunity to return to work. Dr. Handoff states that almost every service industry employer seeks out and recruits student labor. They do this because this segment of the labor market is known for accepting any type of labor conditions and is (even better) known for accepting even the lowest wage without the need of benefits. Furthermore, according to Dr. Handoffs research, here in the Arizona Labor Market, this hiring practice allows employers to generate maximum profits with only minimum exposures to labor lose. ========================================= From the desk of Yusuf Whatzcat Ph.D. Dr. Whatzcat is a well know labor market researcher who is most remembered for his 2012 study on economic non-viability of cats in the American Labor Market. Dr. What cats most recent survey of the local service economy shows that due to the industrys hiring paradigm, the labor shortage created by the yearly Back-to-School transition period, many seemingly unrelated segments of the retail economy fall victim to a critical labor shortage as the employers lose their short-term transitional employee base. 35. Across the board, from mid-July to mid-August, every segment of the retail economy faces the need to replace the students who are in the process of returning to school. Dr. Whatzcat concludes that this is the best window of opportunity for job seekers to enter the retail labor market. This is a short window of massive hiring events that have traditionally spun out of control to where you have respectable seniors battling other job seekers for a place in the long employment lines. Dr. Whatzcat offers the suggestion to start applying in the weeks before Back-to- School to avoid crowds. ============================================================ A HIRING PALOOZA MOST EVERYONE IS OVER-QUALIFIED MOST COMPANIES START HIRING AT 16 YEARS OLD MANY ENTRY-LEVEL RETAILS JOBS REQUIRE NO EXPERIENCE BUT DOES REQUIRE GOOD PEOPLE SKILLS, PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE AND THAT HAVE AN INTEREST IN WHAT THE STORE SELLS. CASH HANDLING AND/OR GOOD MATH SKILLS ARE A PLUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A CASHIER. SPECIAL SKILLS THAT HELP YOU GET HIRED: AVAILABLE TO WORK MORNINGS AND/OR DAY SHIFTS they do not need you later in the day, in the evenings nor many times on the weekends as they have the teenagers and college kids to work those shifts. ALTHOUGH, PEOPLE WITH OPEN AVAILABILITY GET SELECTED FIRSTTRUE! 36. 3721 E THOMAS RD, PHOENIX, AZ 85018 At Wal-Mart, we provide training and development opportunities to help you advance as far as you want to go in your career. In fact, about three-fourths of management-level associates in our stores started as hourly associates. WATCH THE VIDEOS to hear two of our associate success stories: "Things started changing IMMEDIATELY" HTTP://CAREERS.WALMART.COM/HOURLY-OPPORTUNITIES/# APPLY ONLINE HERE: https://hiringcenter.walmartstores.com/OnlineHiringCenter/initialPag e.jsp TIMES ARE A CHANGING THIS IS NOT YOUR UNCLE BOBS WAL-MART 37. SeriouslyThis is even more important to Walmart Workers: Walmart's other promise to workers: Better schedulesConsistent work schedules are normal in the 9-to-5 world, but they are a rarity for many hourly workers at places like retail stores and fast-food joints. From week to week, these workers aren't scheduled for the same hours on the same days. Only when the schedule is posted do they really find out when they are working and when they are off. "It's hard to plan your life around," said Fatmata Jabbie, a 21-year-old single mom of two who works at a Walmart store in Virginia. Jabbie often works five days a week, but it can be four or six. "Sometimes I try to look for some other work on the side, but it's really hard when the schedule is always different," Jabbie said. That will change at Walmart, at least partly, starting in 2016. A new policy will offer some workers, most likely those with the most experience, the same shifts on the same days, the company said Thursday. The schedule change came along with the company's announcement that it will raise pay well above the minimum wage. But a consistent schedule may be just as important for some hourly workers. It could mean the difference between holding down a second job or going to school. It's especially important for workers who have fewer resources to handle disruptions that come up in life, said Claire McKenna, a policy analyst at the National Employment Law Project. A sudden change in schedule, for example, could leave a parent with little in the way of child care options. Nearly 60% of all American workers are paid hourly,and complaints about erratic scheduling aren't new. Workers and labor groups have advocated for fairer scheduling for years. Starbucks (SBUX) said it would revise its own scheduling policy last year. The change came after a New York Times article chronicled the daily life of single mom who was struggling to care for her son while working sporadic hours as a barista. 38. Starbucks said it would update its scheduling software to provide "stability and consistency" for its workers, as well as post schedules at least one week in advance. It also eliminated "clopening" shifts that required an employee to work the closing and opening shifts back-to-back. ================================================================= WARNING! OK CAMPERSIF NOT A NEW STORE OPENING IT IS DIFFICULT TO APPLY OFF THE WEBSITE Wal-Mart is a hard store to crack. There just are no shortcuts for the unconnected applicant(s). A New Store Opening is the most direct but, they will get thousands of applicants for the 100-150 openings. You get lost in the swell of the crowd and only luck or divine intervention seems to helpin other words, light a candle and say a prayer. Online is a long process without knowing beforehand if there is an actual job. The application (to get past the gatekeeper will need ONET ONLINE). Then, you have the skill assessment to do and even if you pass it, there is no guarantee or promise that they will call you. Some people claim success and that it wasnt hard while others claim to have just walked in the door and got hired on-the-spot.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., in considering my application for employment, may verify the information set forth on this application and obtain additional background information relating to my background. I authorize all persons, schools, companies, corporations, credit bureaus, and law enforcement agencies to supply any information concerning my background. We have applicants tell us every day that company cant say anything about me other than if I worked there, how much I made and if I am re-hirable Without giving Wal-Mart the above permission(s) that is correct. By saying YES to the above request you have waved all of your privacy rights under the Privacy Act of 1973. This means that you gave them TOTAL access to your personal files, records and gives the contacted companies immunity from any lawsuit or sanction. What this means that the supervisor you punched in the nose can tell the story and go on to say anything they want. We had a lady who didnt understand this and she paid a terrible price. She worked at a major retailer in the shoe department and left because her new supervisor and she only agreed upon the fact that they hated each other. Not understanding and assuming that the company could not legal share this with a potential employer, she gladly checked that she agreed to the above request. She blanketed her application out to every shoe store west of the Mississippi over 400 plus application (a great feat in itself) and they were deeply impressed by her experience and skill setseach called her previous employer and they put them in direct contact with her former supervisor. By the end of the process she was a real life version of You will never work in the industry again 42. Read the fine print below the request of your signature on any modern application form and you will see that by signing the application you wave all of your privacy rights. You will also read that failure to sign will stop your application right there. The key to dealing with this is to be select in what information you put into your application. If you list it on the application, the new employer will have access to every detail of your work life at that company. If it is not on the application, they do not have access to your information. Had our Shoe Sales Person understood this, she would have been better to have seemed unemployed than to get a reference so bad that it banned her from ever working again in an industry that she loved. That is the reality that you deal with. She could have preempted this by listing her previous manger, (with number and e-mail) that loved her and still praises her work, on the application directly. We asked her about this and she said it was too much effort to track that manager down. The destruction of her career came down to her being lazy and not understanding what she was signing. This is upon each job seeker to educate themselves and to take the time to do the application correctly.
