Being unable to move forward with one’s career owing to difficulties can be tough and disheartening. Nevertheless, one can gain resilience, which will enable them to recover from this setback and come back even stronger than before. Here is how one can develop resilient behavior when faced with setbacks in careers:

1. Change your mindset: Instead of concentrating on the negative aspects of the set back, change your way of thinking by looking at it from a positive angle that focuses on opportunities and lessons learned as opposed to seeing it as failure.

2. Seek help: You should also rely on your support network like friends, family or mentors who can provide guidance and encouragement during such times.

3. Take care of yourself: Engage in activities that make you feel good physically as well as mentally such as exercising, meditating or doing something that you enjoy. This could make you feel more resilient and better placed to handle adversities.

4. Set achievable goals: Begin by setting small attainable objectives that align with your future long-term employment targets. This will help in taking charge of the situation thus leading you closer towards what you desire most.

5. Learn from mistakes: In fact, use these failures as stepping stones for learning so that they do not occur again next time. You will have learnt new skills therefore becoming more robust when confronted by subsequent failures.
