Free Sample Follow-up Letter After Rejection Without Interview
One of the cruel realities of job-hunting is that you will receive rejection letters.
Sometimes you'll be crushed to received a rejection letter after you've interviewed
for a position, but other times, you'll get the dreaded "thanks-but-no-thanks" letter
before you've even had the opportunity to interview. Just about no one writes a
follow-up letter after getting a rejection without an interview. But that's a good
reason to do it. You'll stand out because no one else does it. It's another
chance to put your name before the employer. And because your approach is
unique, the employer may very well remember you the next time there's an
opening. This kind of follow-up can be very short and sweet. It won't take
up much of your time, but it just might pay off someday:

Ms. Jane Wilson
General Electric Corp.
Fairfield, CT 06432
Dear Ms. Wilson,
Thank you for your letter of Sept. 12. I was, of course,
disappointed to learn I had not made the list of finalists
for the sales position you are filling.
Since I remain confident that I have the skills and
qualifications to excel in your company, I hope you will
consider me for any other similar positions either now or
in the future. I admire General Electric Corp. very much
and will certainly contact you the next time I learn of
an opening for which I'm qualified.
Thank you again for considering my qualifications.
Sincerely,
John Oakley
