- 1.
- 2. You’ve seemingly applied for dozens, maybe scores, perhaps even hundred of jobs. And you finally got an interview. And you think you knocked it out of the park.
- 3. The day you’ve been waiting for has arrived. You receive an email from the recruiter. It goes something like this: Dear Candidate: Thank you for your interest in the position. We received a number of resumes from highly qualified candidates. Unfortunately, we will be unable to move ahead with an offer at this time. We will keep your resume on file for a year and we encourage to you apply for other positions that may interest you. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Sincerely, The Recruiting Team
- 4. Messages like that go out to job seekers tens of thousands of time each day. It’s not fun to read those words, but make sure you don’t take it personally. You don’t have to reply to such a message. If you choose to reply, always be sure to remain positive and professional.
- 5. It’s a terrible idea to send a message with any or all of the following sentiments: “You’ll be sorry!” “I was looking at the LinkedIn profile of Sarah on your team. I’m much more qualified than she is to do this work!”
- 6. What possible good can come from appearing to put a curse (or perhaps appearing to threaten) the recruiter or hiring manager? A message like this comes across as petty and bitter.
- 7. This comment seems like your denigrating the very people who you’d want to work with. Again, it comes across as bitter and petty. And if there was even a shred of truth to the line from the rejection email about keeping your resume on file… sending an angry message about how you’re more qualified than current team members will guarantee a red flag will be put on your filed resume.
- 8. And even if you do send such a message, then at least be sure that you don’t actually send Sarah a LinkedIn invitation afterwards.
- 9. Even as the economy picks up, landing your dream job is still difficult. Don’t be your own worst enemy by sending an inappropriately emotional email. You never know when you might run in to that recruiter again!
