HOW TO RESPOND TO A REJECTION LETTER The next time you get a rejection letter from a hoped-for employer, just send them
the following announcement:
To Whom It May Concern:
Thank you for your letter of [date]. After careful consideration, I regret to inform
you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me employment at this time. This year
I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection let-
ters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to ac-
cept all refusals. Despite [your Company]’s outstanding qualifications and previous ex-
perience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. Therefore, I will initiate employment with your firm immediately. I look for-
ward to working with you. Best of luck in rejecting future candidates.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
