How to Respond To an Employment Rejection Letter
There are times when despite your best efforts, the company you have applied to, does not want to enlist your services and rejects your job application letter. The feeling is really horrible as no one in this world likes to be rejected. Most of the people around us spend a big chunk of their lives in fear of rejection so it is only natural that their reactions are queer and odd when their job application is rejected.
You might not be getting an interview call and would not really want to open the rejection letter. Some people, out of spite, just tear away the letter without even reading its contents. However, it is better to read the rejection letter as it might give you an idea as to what else you need to change or do in order to stand a better chance of getting a job the next time you apply for one.
People can even go into depression through rejection so it is better to start learning how to give a controlled and mature response to rejection.

In the response, you should not sound angry or dejected at all. Your words should give the reader the impression that regardless of what happened, the person is willing to know where he went wrong and what he should work on.

If you ask questions and reasons behind your rejection, it will show that you have a strong interest in the job and just because you were rejected initially, does not mean that you won’t try again. This will also make the company wary about your vision and will consider you for future appointments.
