Getting rejected from a job you really wanted can be just as hard as dealing with a breakup
"The idea of honoring relationships starts with people who don't even work there yet," Keswin says."When it comes to some of these recruiters, there's no excuse in how they are treating people, but try to keep it at arm's length."
Rushing to crank out the next cover letter right after getting rejected can also be counterproductive, as you should wait until you are in a more positive mindset to get back into applying. "All of those things speak to company values and how they treat their people," she says."I would look in the mirror and say 'Is that a really company I would be happy at?'"ARENA Creative/Shutterstock
"You had a different type of connection with all of these different people," Keswin says."You should try to make a personal connection in that email and say you hope to keep in touch.If you particularly enjoyed interviewing for the company, ask your interviewer to keep you in mind for future positions.
Taylor, however, says that this approach could backfire. Managers often don't have time to give detailed feedback to each rejected candidate, and asking them to take time out of their day for you could feel burdensome."There's a 60/40 chance you're irritating them more than anything else," Taylor says.If you received a few rejections in a row, take the time to analyze what could be missing in your resume.Many times people apply to several jobs during the interview stage.
