Hi, paying attention to those rejection emails can be very helpful if you address them in the right way. Think of it as another way of evaluating your weakness to better improve your job search and communication skills by asking the question as to why you were rejected/unqualified. Don't just discard a possibility. . .

I keep getting denied due to availability, but the thing is I'm only not available two days due to my brother dying this year, it's making me discouraged and making me feel like a failure and like I have no future, I miss my brother dearly and I feel like I cant catch a break, every job has directly said that it is because of that.

I dont get it. I got rejected again. They loved my passion but no offer. What am I doing wrong? I am acclaimed in my field. Just turned 50. 2 degrees. Working on my Masters. All my roles were progressively upward. Am I being blackballed? I remain prayerful.

Had a very good interview last week. I was really looking forward to this job. Just received an email that they decided to go a different route. Feeling depressed and frustrated. Ive had over 50 applications filled already. Praying that something comes up quick.

Got my first denial today from the VA no less. oh well. Waiting on many other applications out there. Really hoping I can get something soon, as we want to buy our first house next year.

Has anyone ever replied to a rejection email? Usually, I don’t pay attention, I just keep moving. The Hiring Manager promised me that the Recruiter would call me to schedule a time for the next phase. A couple days later, I saw that Indeed reposted the position like it was new. I did some research and thé reasons stated in the forum: -company may just interview people although it already has a chosen candidate -company has not found a suitable candidate -company has not interviewed enough candidates -position has been filled -etc... Anyway, after that,I clicked on another job website, position has been filled Two days later, I get a notification from a different website showing that only 2 people applied for the position. When I did not get the call last week, I had a feeling that they already hired someone.

However, this rejection email is a little different than what I usually receive. It seems more agreeable with all the usual wordings in a rejection email.

I could be disappointed because they did not keep their word but I meant to reply and thank the Recruiter for her time. Since, I already sent a Thank You email after the interview to both Recruiters and Hiring Manager ( only the Recruiter replied), should I reply to the rejection email or not? Perhaps, it could be that I am on a more positive journey; therefore, I am seeing everything different now.

It's sad there are employers that will never see your application. Stock rejection sentences: "We certainly appreciate the time you spent completing the application. After careful deliberation, the hiring manager has reevaluated the needs of the department. We regret to inform you that the search has been canceled. We encourage you to apply and check our website for future job opportunities" Here is another version: "After careful review of the impressive applications/resumes we received, a small group of individuals were selected for the interview process. Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that you were not among the final group selected for an interview."

I hate going to interview & always getting rejected because of favoritism or hardwork b.s ???

Being rejected never feels good, but as job seekers it’s often unavoidable. From situations where you may submit applications without hearing back at all, to situations where you might get all the way through to an interview and then…nothing!

It can be super frustrating, but we all cope in our own way. When I was interviewing I made a conscious effort to never wait around for communication after submitting my resume. It meant that I was able to submit more applications and I was always pleasantly surprised when I heard back from an employer. If I didn’t hear back, or got a rejection, oh well! I already had ten other applications out that day!

By keeping my expectations low, I was able to keep myself from getting disappointed if I didn’t hear back.

When we keep ourselves busy, it can also help us from feeling the emotional stress that comes with job seeking.

I know rejection can cause us to want to stop in our tracks and not keep going. But we need to remember nothing worth it in life is ever easy so when we get knocked down we need to immediately get back up and keep going!
