Accepting Rejection Graciously

Accepting Rejection Graciously

  • Accept an employer rejection graciously. You never know when another terrific opportunity from that employer might come along. Keep the lines of communication open.
  • If you are anxious to work for the company, ask them to keep your application on file in case a position opens that better matches your qualifications.
  • Close by again expressing appreciation for the time that was spent considering you for the job.
