The most painful rejection I’ve recieved perhaps may be when I interviewed for a job in Cebu that required proficiency in english. The test needed so much accuracy of pronunciation which I failed to satisfy. Nearly my whole life I’ve been speaking english and I’ve also taught english as one of the best teachers in an institution. So that failure to pass the interview test was quite painful and made me feel ungifted. I went back after 6 months but same result. This post is so relative and encouraging, thanks @jassenessaj
