What to say in response to a job rejection letter?

I just received a rejection email for a job that I applied online for. I was a perfect fit for the position. I met or exceeded all of their hiring criteria and sent my resume within a few days of the job posting on the internet. They never even called me for an interview.





I%26#039;m planning to email them back. I%26#039;d like to find out why they weren%26#039;t interested in interviewing me and if it would make sense for me to apply for other jobs with them in the future.





What should I say in the letter?|||It would be perfectly acceptable to ask why you were not considered for an interview since you went to the trouble to submit your resume. etc. Just be careful how you word such a question. First tell them you are disappointed since you felt that you qualifications were more than a match for the job outlined. Ask for your own information and to assist with future job application what happened that you did not receive an interview. Say something that would keep the door open for future positions


This is one of the difficulties associated with applying for a job and try not to take it personally. Often there are reasons why they chose someone else like they are relatives or friends kids. You just have to make yourself feel that they passed up a perfect candidate and it is their loss.|||thank them for the opportunity to speak with them and you never know, they may just remember you and your abilities and call you on a lark|||You do not respond to a job rejection.|||You don%26#039;t contact them; it is not appropriate. Should something with the same company come up in the future, simply reapply.|||Odds are they%26#039;ll keep your resume on file anyways.





As roughly said in Rocky Balboa, %26#039;no matter what, theres always going to be some guy better than you%26#039;, and you just have to accept that they beat you to this job and move on.|||Write back saying.....Well FUkc you then!! LOL|||Just tell them that you are very interested in joining the company and politely ask if you may reapply for future positions. Do not ask why you didn%26#039;t get an interview.|||Ask if they received your application.


If they did, ask what it was that meant you didn%26#039;t get the job, what additional qualifications were needed (if any).|||Dear Mr. English:





Writing this letter is optional, but doing so is a good idea. It leaves the door open for you to apply to the firm sometime in the future when your qualifications have changed and is a way of maintaining a good relationship with the company. In the opening, thank the company for their time and consideration of your application and qualifications.





Use the body of your letter to discuss your positive impressions of the company. You might mention interviews that you had with company representatives, information you learned about the company during your application process, and any specific people who were particularly helpful or kind to you during the process.





Close the letter by mentioning the possibility of future contact with the company. Remain optimistic and thankful that the company considered your application.





Sincerely,





Lucy Letter

They will be upfront and it is perfectly normal to ask someone why they did not hire you. Be polite and honest and they should definitely respond.





In California, if you are collecting unemployment, you have to find out why you weren%26#039;t hired for the jobs you applied for.





Keep your head up! Your dream job is still out there.
