We all fail, and failure can result in some of the greatest lessons. But would you share those failures with potential employers?

You do just that by writing a “rejection resume.”

Most people tell themselves not to think about the negative things in life. When we talk about Elon Musk and other successful people, we talk about the ways they’ve succeeded. But they’ve all had failures, too. It’s okay to fail. You can learn from your mistakes and rebound.

Rejection and failure are never perfect, but they are perfectly aligned with your story.

From the time you started applying to colleges, you’ve likely had some successes and failures, so can easily start jotting them down creating a résumé from it.

Start just like a regular résumé. State your objectives or your purpose. Write down how many courses you failed, how many schools rejected you, how many times you were fired from a job, and how many jobs you didn’t get.

You will have a good solid résumé of your trials and tribulations.
