How Do You Learn From Job Search Rejection Letters?
Have you ever received a rejection letter from a company during your job search? As a talent acquisition professional, I have sent many; and as a career professional, I have received many. I would like to help you achieve a different point of view about rejection letters. First of all, during your job search, keep a written or electronic record of your progress. This would include a list and/or emails that acknowledge receipt of applications, application updates, comments, AND, the “dreaded” rejection letters! Keep this in a journal, composition book, legal pad, or in folders you have created in your email account. (Another good job search recordkeeping tool is Microsoft Excel.)

Get in the habit of maintaining a positive attitude about your job
