Putting yourself out there with new ideas can be intimidating. Talk to the interviewer about how you process rejection and what you learn from those experiences. Without asking questions first and getting a broader view of the bigger picture, you might be contributing ideas that someone before you already tried. So, offer what you learned from your rejection and how you took those lessons in stride.

"A couple of years ago, I made a scheduling recommendation that would have included some split shifts. The result was less overtime and reduced expenses for the company. My colleagues were unhappy with the idea of split shifts. I understood their perspective, which made it much easier to bounce back from the rejection. My overall attitude is, you win some - you lose some!"
