Some job seekers have claimed that by sending a thank you note in wake of rejection it helped get them hired by that company later on down the road because the hiring manager was impressed the person had taken the time to write the thank you note even though I knew I wouldn't be getting the job the first time around. Job seekers have also said that there's the possibility that their selected candidate won't work out or won't accept the position so the few minutes it takes to draft a thank you note for their time and consideration may help them remember you if they change their mind. And there's those who say that while the interview may not completely sell a hiring manager, an amazingly gracious follow up note after being turned down helped the hiring manager know the job seeker was exactly the kind of person he or she was looking for.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: large;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: large;\"\u003E\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.theladders.com\/careers\/search\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ETHE LADDERS\u003C\/a\u003E says a follow-up note or letter following rejection is so rare that you'll stand out and could be more beneficial to job seekers than not sending anything at all.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: large;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cb\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: large;\"\u003EWhat does everyone here think?\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/b\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: large;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit; font-size: large;\"\u003E-Elizabeth Medina\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/blog.gulf-recruitments.com\/feeds\/6920529585062676\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/blog.gulf-recruitments.com\/2015\/08\/thank-you-note-for-not-getting-hired.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/2622857747930619649\/posts\/default\/6920529585062676"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/2622857747930619649\/posts\/default\/6920529585062676"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/blog.gulf-recruitments.com\/2015\/08\/thank-you-note-for-not-getting-hired.html","title":"Thank You Note For Not Getting Hired"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Qatar Online Shopping Offers"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/07137079511231993429"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-C4rdXQe6Wqw\/Vcm06f6Rq1I\/AAAAAAAAD6I\/2W8_rZbJRCk\/s72-c\/the-five-biggest-mistakes-sales-reps-make-in-a-job-interview-5-638.png","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2622857747930619649.post-5309957785156888723"},"published":{"$t":"2015-06-24T03:53:00.004-07:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2015-06-27T03:13:30.456-07:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Interview Tips"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Job Tips"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Lily Zhang"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"30 Behavioral Interview Questions You Should Be Ready to Answer"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"\u003Cdiv dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"\u003E\n\u003Cdiv class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003E\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-UbAejW3XOtw\/VYqL5zNm8xI\/AAAAAAAADvc\/P8-2KVaF6fQ\/s1600\/interview%2Bquestions.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003E\u003Cimg border=\"0\" height=\"313\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-UbAejW3XOtw\/VYqL5zNm8xI\/AAAAAAAADvc\/P8-2KVaF6fQ\/s640\/interview%2Bquestions.jpg\" width=\"640\" \/\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\n\u003Cdiv style=\"background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 10px;\"\u003E\n\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003EInterview prep 101 dictates that you should have your elevator pitch ready, a few stories polished, and a good sense of what you have to offer.
