That Rejection Letter After the Interview Stinks...

That Rejection Letter After the Interview Stinks...

But how you handle it can be dividends at the end of the day.  Use it has a opportunity to connect with the hiring manager to express that although they went in the other direction, you do not view the word "no" has a "bad word" or "closed door".  This is not personal!!!  

Tell the hiring manager that should a new opportunity open or the circumstance change, you would be open to speaking again.  You enjoyed the experience learning about the company, found the organization to be aligned with your career aspirations and it another role were to open, you would welcome consideration.  

This is a great networking opportunity.  Don't allow the change to remain "top of mind" escape.
