Have you found that the "no"s are getting harder and harder to hear? Are you thinking that this should be getting easier since you've been auditioning for a while already? This week I am answering the question of how to make it easier and by the title you already know not caring isn't the answer. So many people think they just need to not care about the jobs, not care if they are being told no and not care if they don't get the callback they were hoping for. That's just not the answer because you're human not a robot! So what can you do instead so that it doesn't feel so heartbreaking every time? Listen and you'll find out!
