Fantastic! It’s awesome to see people use your advice and it works! So happy for them and you! Keep them coming!
MK Woo thanks MK!
Many thanks, I've been looking for "writer job listings" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Jeyeyton Riyria Process - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my m8 got great results with it.
Andrew LaCivita this video is really great. I'm totally down to use this, but I have a question! I came to know about not being selected for the position on Saturday and I know that I'm good for that position, it's just that I'm so busy working outside that I don't get time to talk to the hiring committee that much so may be they don't know me that well, is it okay if I talk to them like face to face about it? Because I'm going to see them for two more months.
This happened to me in July, great interview ..then rejected.
Then today, the HR lady called me to offer me the position because the "better fit" quit 🤣
I respectfully declined.
Hahaha!!! The "better fit" quit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice. Best of luck with all your future endeavors!
If I havent found something better I would consider if they reach out with a job offer, if it is an offer to reapply , i will respectfully decline. My time is too valuable to go weeks through the interview process again and repeat myself like a broken record. A day more waiting is a day more without a job or without the better job i want to
Move to.
Isn't that a red flag for the company?
"I want to thank you both for considering me for ..." whatever the position was.
Then give them a compliment. "I loved meeting you and your wonderful team. You can see how this team will be successful and so forth." It's just something to warm them up. Then what I would say is, here's where you want to reiterate why you're the best person for the role, "While I feel I would be a strong candidate and fit for the company and this position because ..." whatever the reason
is, just insert why you feel you'd be the best person for the job, "I genuinely respect
your opinion that you know what is best for your team and your organization."
Then I would cap it off with, "If anything with this position changes or you feel I would be a suitable candidate for other roles in your company, I would be happy to come back for additional consideration.
Thank you very much."
Your name.
Thanks!
Thank you 😊
Can you tell me your opinion about this post rejection thank you note Email?
Dear ( full name), I want to thank both you and Mrs. (Full name) for your time and for getting back to me about your hiring decision, I loved meeting you. While I'm disappointed to hear that I was not selected for the content moderator position, I greatly appreciate the opportunity to interview for the job and meet great people like you.
While I feel I would be a strong candidate and fit for the company and this position because I am very patient, learn fast, work well with Computers, and don’t leave work incomplete, I would appreciate telling me what are the requirements you sat for this position that I didn't meet.
I genuinely respect your opinion that you know what is best for your team and your organization.
If anything with this position changes or you feel I would be a suitable candidate for other rules in your company, I would be happy to come back for additional consideration.
Thank you very much.
_My Name_
Doesn’t work. Still rejects you in the end, so I don’t see the point in this
I get emails daily from people who tell me it worked for them. So, there’s that.
I am truly a hardworking person, they just need to give me a chance. I miss going to work and i NEED to work. I keep getting job rejections and im starting to feel hopeless. I will keep trying because i need a job.
Hang in there. You got this Julia!
It worked!!! I tried it and it worked!!! I got the job!!!
Yeeeeessssss! Love to hear this and huge congratulations!!🎉🍾🎈🎊
@@andylacivita, I’ve been unemployed for a long time. Desperation and despair had long since set in. My wife left a month ago and life was falling apart around me.
Oh the look of pride and admiration and gladness in my wife’s face when I told her!!!!!! I will take this opportunity and build a strong foundation upon it, and my family WILL be restored.
And all the glory goes to Jehovah God who blesses those who trust in him. You, sir, are an instrument in His hands whether you realize it or not. THANK YOU!!!
I got so sick of interviews and them being completely pointless. When i got picked again in a pool of candidates I told them that I don't do interviews because they are pointless. You have my resume give me a shout if you need me. Guess what it worked.
Going out with class is the hardest part after a rejection. It takes a very strong individual to swallow their pride sometimes. But I love this and I will definitely use it in my next rejection. Thank you! 😊
This happened to me. I interviewed really well. I kept hearing from people in the know that I was the best fit, but then I got the rejection. I asked for feedback and heard only great things. Three weeks later, the recruiter for that role reached out and said a similar role will be posted and the same hiring manager wanted me to apply. The recruiter let me know I didn't have to interview again since I just interviewed recently. I just needed to wait for the process to play out. I applied and waited. A month later, I got the job offer.
Love it!!
Amazing🎉
3 phone interviews, in-person, "We really like you. We're very serious. Please hold off on other offers." They call me the other day and tell me it's between you and another candidate. Then the email...Thank you but unfortunately... Ugh Why even tell I'm the last 2? Just decide. Of course I'm thinking I should have gave them a final pitch. Did the other candidate ask for a lower salary? I skipped an interview because of how serious they were. My mistake. Also blew $ getting there. Out of town job...just venting. Frustrated.
Insomniac Boxing I feel you man! I’m going through similar things unemployment is a plague. I hope we both find jobs we like.
@Ryan Sondalle Felt this. Got through all rounds they told me how much they liked me and how great i would be with the team and how much they loved my enthusiasm. Ive been trying to find a job for over a year and a half. They said i didnt have enough experience. I have had 4 internships but still not enough. How am i supposed to get experience if no one will give it to me?? Im heartbroken and so over this
Keep in mind that some companies make fake job offers for competitiveness reasons. Other companies would prefer hiring someone who has relatives/friends already working there, even if you're more qualified.
I wish I saw this video about an hour ago after getting my rejection email I did respond with something somewhat similar to what you said but I liked your response better. Why is it so so hard after being rejected I feel awful and I really had so much invested in getting this job. Anyway I appreciate your videos.
Thanks Bella. At least you found it now. There are plenty more vids to help you get that great job!
BellaKurd I know this feeling too 😖😖
Incredible!! Tonight I'm in bed heartbroken about being recently rejected by my dream job which took 3 years of extra study and experience to get an interview. I'm drafting my letter tomorrow! Thank you so much for this
Go get ‘em!!! Good luck with it!!!
@@andylacivita thank you! Il be sure to share the outcome with you 😁
ART IN ONE would love that. Let me know!
A better opportunity is waiting for you out there. Don't be discouraged, you can do this!
well what happened?
Although I never saw this video before, this type of reaction does work. I actually got rejected for a senior leadership role but sent a positive thank you letter to those involved in the hiring process similar to what was described here and lo and behold, I did get contacted a few months later asking if I was still interested since the current candidate they picked is not working out for them. Unfortunately, I already moved on and found a better job but was delighted to see that this method does work. Good video Andrew.
Thanks Steven. Good stuff!
This gives me positive vibes that after they reject you somehow they will contact you and that just gives you the power: You let go of me ans that’s it!
I'm about to send this type of thank you, but PLOT TWIST! I figured out I was rejected before getting anything from the company because one of my old work buddies just reached out to thank me for all the help I provided during his job search. He then told me he accepted a job, shared the title and company, and sure enough it was the job. I'm thinking instead of reiterating that I think I'm the best person for the role, I'm going to affirm their choice because I fully agree. I actually learned a lot of my skills by watching him, and it was a huge compliment that I was in the top 3 finalists with him. Wanted to get a gut check from anyone who might see this...hopefully today :)
This is so graceful, It works. Having a great attitude at rejection allows people to wonder about what they're missing.
Well said Santrice!
I did a similar thing to keep the door open after I’d gotten rejected three interviews in for a leadership position but they had said they loved me. Turns out the person they offered the job to couldn’t take it so two days later, the company asked me if I’d still be interested and offered me significantly more money than originally mentioned.
Great to hear Joanna. Congrats!!🎉🎊🎈
I would have told them "I'm sorry, but another opportunity has presented itself and I've decided to go with them at this time"...in other words I would have told them to "go jump!"...they gave you a "headache" so it's only fair to repay them with giving them a "migraine!"..
@@iamthegame09 Although it's true they chose someone else, this is not the case where her boyfriend cheated on her and now he wants her back. If she'd do what you just said, she wouldn't end up getting what she wanted in the first place, which is the actual job. She actually invested time and effort, passed three interviews and yes, the company didn't gave her the position first but they kept her in mind (also not like she waited a lifetime, it was two days!). Don't let your emotions take advantage of you. Turning 30 in two days, years don't come alone haha. All the best!
wish Id be this lucky
😔💔
Whoa! They rejected you before the 1st choice coild accept/reject their offer!?!??
I felt this job in my packet, they interviewed me three times, I had all the signs that showed that they will chose me. 20 mins ago I've discovered that I got rejected. They wrote that they really liked me, but they have found someone else with native language knowledge (Russian) which is of course better than my C1 advanced. I was so devastated. It might be true that he knows more Russian word, but I'm sure he's not as classy as me with a letter like this. It's a nice feeling that it's not they who closed this conversation. And it can even happen that they will respond. Still, writing this email was so relaxing, much better than just sitting in an empty dark room and struggling with loser syndrome. I feel classy, thanks for your help!
You're so welcome! Keep at it and you'll land a job you'll love!
I came across your video while searching on job rejection after I was extremely depressed for getting rejected after the last round...I heard you nd thought this may work in US but will never work in India.. nobody does that here...I don't y but your words played in me and finally wrote a nice mail on the lines of what u told...IT WORKED LIKE MAGIC...got a HR call inside 15 mins saying they would give a opportunity and reassess me...had I not heard you I would hv missed this opportunity...now I am not missing any of your videos.. thanks a ton
Outstanding Rohitaswa!!! Good luck with the next steps!
did you get the job?
I am currently a job seeker diagnosed with autism. I have been recently received interviews and I have been rejected for those positions after those interviews. I have sent them the follow ups after receiving those rejection letters in order to stand out. Statistics show that 85% of job seekers with autism are unemployed and those who are unemployed cannot move past the first interview due to their communication deficits compared to job seekers without autism. And some of them did not follow up after receiving their rejection emails because they feel that the interview process is brutal to them. This video is helpful for those seeking job opportunities with or without a disability and I appreciate your advice!
Man I am extremely touched by your story. What's been up for you lately bro/sis?
Hello!! I did exactly what you did and the HR manager that initially advised me I won't be progressing further is now reconsidering my application for the role.
We communicated 3-4 times via email and the last email was a positive response where she will share our conversation and relook at my application for the position.
I did all of the above but I also showed them more about myself as an individual that thrives in a challenging situation.
I only go this far when I know I will love this opportunity. And even if they come back with a no I can walk away knowing I gave it my 100% and I can continue my hunt for a new career.
Thank you for reassuring me what I did was the correct approach
Excellent outlook here! Even if this isn't the one, I know you'll be successful in life. I truly mean that!
Andy, this is GOLD! I absolutely love your method for helping someone that has been rejected for a job. So classy! Your passion and enthusiasm for this industry makes me so proud to be part of this field.
You are TOO kind. :)
I've heard several times that the first candidate a company selected, was let go within 2 months. So many times the first hire doesn't work out.
Jill W. Fox so true!
I think this happened to me. I applied to a position, was rejected and about a year later got a call from the employer asking how my work situation was and she was going through some prior applications and found mine and wondered if I am still interested in the job, I already had a job at the time and was not looking so I declined.. but I'm wondering if what you are saying is right and that the candidate they chose over me didnt work out
That's fine if you were the second choice.
But what if you were three or four or five.
Thank you for sharing this. Wrote the exact message, and the hiring manager wrote back within minutes. They said I was a strong candidate and they would highly recommend me for another opportunity within their department.
Made me feel much better.
Wonderful to hear this Jessica!
Thank you, This is gold for me. I got regected from a job I really wanted. Felt like crawling into the woodworks and never come out. I would keep this in mind. Keep up the good work.
You’re welcome Naheed. Try this technique but more importantly you hang in there. Your dream job awaits!!
This is amazing! I’ve been to a job interview for a leading position today. They said I had some amazing answers and that I was the future, but still didn’t got the job. At first I stayed positive, but when I got home, I was hit by the bad loser syndrome. I’m pumped again after watching this video.
Time for action!
Sorry to hear, but keep at it! Job searching and interviewing is tough! Glad you found the right video to craft your response. Good luck!
Fantastic idea. I interviewed 2 weeks ago within the company I work for. No news on Monday means I probably didn't get the job. I'm expecting to be told tomorrow. 32 people applied, 12 got interviewed and I was one of the 12. I was feeling really irritated today, thinking I prepared for two weeks, over the past two years always took on extra work. I know what's coming. I may sound self defeating and that is not my intention, I know how the company works. I always accepted feedback well but this time I was about to let them have it. Until I watched your vid. Thanks for putting my emotions in check. I will type of that letter. You do have something good going here. Good luck to you.
Happy Dad good luck to you too Happy Dad!
this is almost the same as getting rejected by a girl, you have to act and think positive, never deffensive and let her know you are a very good mate
Yes, this is excellent advice! Always be polite, kind, and professional. Don't be reactive or act defensively. Thanks for this solid video, Andy!
Well said!
As a former recruiter, we often were not allowed access to the hiring managers and had to go through the HR rep at the company. So yes, if you as a candidate have access to more than one person at the company, it would be great to send emails to all of them.
Heather Gerhardt thanks Heather. Always appreciate your thoughts!!
This worked for me!! Thank you so much!! I sent the email and the HM told me he shared my resume for open roles in the future!
Amazing! I followed your advice and after 2 weeks after sending in my thank you email I got a call this morning to come in for a in person interview and meet the team. Now I need to prep for my in person interview. Thank you!
Fantastic! Best of luck!
This is an incredible idea! Not only does it feed a positive mindset, but it also teaches us to better handle rejection because most times it’s not an issue with us! And sometimes it’s hard not to believe that when job searching! Thank you for bringing us this content!
You're welcome. I'm so glad you like it Queen Coffee!
Will definitely do this. I was very upset I wasn't chosen and I really clicked with the hr and the hiring manager!
You got this!
Hello Andrew and hello everyone!
I got the job after beeing turned down in the first place. I have to admit, I was very disappointed. To make it worse, I moved to a new country thinking I will get the job for wich I had 2 well gone interviews.
Somehow I didn’t wanted to accept a no from a company I am completely identifying with its culture. So… I found your video while looking for a good advice for my case and sent a convincing email as you suggested.
Today, after only 3 days I got the email, that I convinced them to be best fit for the company.
My happiness has no end today!
Thank you sooo much! 🙏🏽
I can't believe this actually worked!! Yesterday I got rejected by a company, I sent them this email last night and today I got offered another position within the company! I don't know if this email is entirely responsible for it but I like to think it definitely helped! Thank you for the great advice!!
Absolutely love this and I'm sooooo happy for you !!!!!
This is an absolute class act email to send. Although I'm still frustrated at how much time and energy I had to invest (4 different interviews via Zoom, Phone, and in-person) I know that this is the right thing to do.
Glad you enjoyed this!!
This just happened to me. You saved me from freaking out and helped keep it classy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏🏼
Glad I could help!
Hello Mr Andrew! I recently applied for a Job and I got through the initial screening and preliminary interview. However, in my Second Interview, I was not confident and blew it only to get a rejection mail later. I know that I could have done so much better and I wouldn’t be so disappointed in myself right now. How I wish I could be given a chance to prove my worth and how much I want the job.. A thank you mail really helps. Thank you so much for this video. 🙂
You’re so welcome!!
Yes it’s hard and heart is broken I had 4 interviews I was the only person who was in the final interview. I don’t know what happened. I want another shot. It’s my dream job . I will email them and see their response. 🙏🏽. Thank you 😊
Hang in there. I’m sending you good vibes and wishing you lots of luck. Just remember, it only takes one!
I've interviewed with this company multiple times and got rejected again today. Time to give this a shot. Just wish I could tell them whatever the hell they want to hear..
Thank you, Mr. Andrew for this amazing video.. Recently, I've got a rejection e-mail from one company that I really want to work at and I feel so broken.. Surprisingly, your explanation is totally relieves my anxiety and make me realize that I still got another chance... Once again thank you very much.. I appreciated it.. 😊😊😊
You’re sooooo welcome Elyna!
This video literally popped up 20 minutes after I got “that email”
Tyler, I pride myself on being there when you need me. :)
Ugh. Hang in there
@rocky mountain lass I also saw that. In-fact my job rejection email response was a generic email I got from indeed.com. I hope they don't catch that slip up on my part.
I failed also from my interview yesterday! Hope you found a job!
@@yhaniep2325 Thank you. I hope you do to. It makes me sick when I hear how well the economy is doing and I still cant find a job.
Andy, I have been studying a lot of your videos recently and I had been out of job for over a year, this vid landed me the job AFTER I was rejected! HR emailed me the "sorry" msg, but they said I was great, but there was stiff competition 500 applicants for this 6figures sales job. I had a 2 minute pity party and then re-watched your vid. I immediately sent the hiring mgr & HR an email including a 30 sec VIDEO telling them all the stuff you said in the vid. 1 week later hiring mgr calls me to say they really want me and a formal offer is on the way to my email. THANKS, ANDY!
Mark!! Outstanding my friend! Huge congratulations to you and lots of luck on the new role. Also, thanks for letting me know this. It’s always nice for me to hear what’s happening as a result of these videos.
@@andylacivita Your other vids definitely helped me in the interview process to stand out, especially (but not limited to) the one on "why do you want to work here." Thanks again for so much great interviewing and resume content!
I just got done with a 7step interview process with 2 assessments got to the very end and just got this email. This was my dream job but I’m still proud of the fact that I was able to go through that whole process for such an amazing out of my league position and someone still convinced i could get it or something similar
Sorry to hear Mia but hang in there. It will happen for you!
I'd send them an email saying thanks for not hiring me, I wouldn't want to work for a company with bad judgement.
Love it!
I did the same thing today after I got my rejection call. This video now confirms I did the right thing. The company is huge so hoping for something similar to what you guys experienced!
Awesome. Good luck!!! 🍀
Andrew, I used similar wording, inspired by your video, and they invited me back to interview for another position that they hadn't even posted on their site yet. Thanks for all you do for your YT community!
Great to hear. 👏Thanks for sharing!
I've had 10 job interviews this year and was rejected by everyone of them I feel like I'm a one man army fighting an uphill battle, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
Hang in there! It only takes one!!
Oh man I wish I'd seen this video much earlier, I literally replied to a rejection email with 'thank you for your quick response and constructive feedback, I wish you and the team, and the new candidate all the best' felt sincere. The reason they gave me was the other was more experienced than me in excel, even though I have the right qualifications for the role.
It’s okay. Follow up in 30 days with this rejection email and see if there’s any opportunity!
@@andylacivita Fantastic, thank you for the advice.
@@andylacivita I sent that letter exactly how you worded it, and I got a 'thumbs up' reply this morning from one of the recruiting managers that interviewed me 😊
Being defensive is definitely worse thing for bad impression
You got that right Ali!!!
Thank you so much Andrew! I tried this tip a few times to no avai. However, recently my girlfriend got her job offer rescinded due to some special circumstances. I told her to try this tip, and today the company called to tell her to start working tomorrow! It's her dream job as well, so she is ecstatic right now!
Wonderful to hear for your friend Phong! For you, hang in there!
Thank you! Just got a rejection letter from a position I thought would help start my career. This video made me smile. It was like a little pep talk from a friend. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Never even thought about doing this! I knew I wanted to send another or follow up thank you email to the rejection email I got but never knew I could spin it like this! Thanks for the great advice!
Olivia Roach that’s wonderful to hear Olivia. I’m always trying to give you nifty, unique tips!!!
I’m currently waiting for a call back. They said September 9th would be the final day I could receive a call.
It’s been a week since the interview and everyday my anxiety goes up..
Im glad I found this video, and maybe I could be reconsidered using this
It doesn’t sound like you’ve been rejected yet. Hang in there!!
I just got turned down a 130k USD job after 5 interviews and a training session that took me 2 weeks to create... I'm absolutely devastated :(
Hang in there my friend. In a few weeks you’re going to look back and thank the universe you didn’t get the job. You just don’t know it yet.
Sorry to hear that. I understand how crushing the process can be. Always remember it's their lost and you will land the perfect career for you.
Thank you for sharing this Andy! This sounds like wonderful advice for those situations and companies, where you want to make a positive impression and keep the door open if something changes. And I've been on the hiring side where things did change, so I know it's true.
This will be helpful to not over-do it. I got rejected, sent a reply asking them to reconsider, got a reply along the lines of "your happiness will be short lived here as it does not play to your strengths, and im prepraring another reply and request to reconsider.
Glad it’ll help!!
I severely doubt this is going to work, but I'll try it as I was referred to this by a mentor.
I woke up this morning to a rejection from a job whose job description was quite literally my autobiography. They did say "we'll notify you of upcoming opportunities that match your expertise", but no one has ever been earnest and followed through with that.
If sending this message does somehow end up resulting in a twist ending where they do turn around and offer me the job later or they actually do notify me of some other opportunity, I'll buy you a beer or coffee or whatnot.
I wish I had found this video earlier. After the HR interview, I was supposed to have a 1 hr. with the hiring manager and her boss (call her the boss's boss.) Because of a scheduling conflict, I had a 1/2 hour call with the boss's boss which led to a 1/2 hour call with the hiring manager. Then I received the thanks, but no thanks but at least they let me know why... "You interviewed well and have solid global marketing experience. However, we have decided to move forward with other candidates that have more digital experience." I was already looking into a digital marketing certification and I am now enrolled in one.
This Bootcamp is 110% worth it-- my only regret is not starting sooner!
Andy, I hope you know how much hope you provide during this difficult process. I reached out to a former manager in a company I resigned from 9yrs ago and she said she'd hire me back in a heartbeat (but she's now out of state). She provided the name of the woman who manages my former territory (who I personally know but not as close) and agreed to 'talk me up,' That was last Thursday night and I haven't heard back from either person as of yet. I know there are many variables (I was there 10yrs and resigned after being on disability), but I automatically assume they're not open to having me back. I want to reach out to my former mgr tonight as a follow-up but need to be well prepared in case she says something like I don't think their hiring or whatnot. I know she speaks to the new mgr semi-reg so any highlights of my career would be refreshed. Thnx for suggested f/u template (found in the Bootcamp!). Fingers crossed...
You're so welcome Marie!! ❤️
To me its like dating. Self respect and move on.
Good analogy!
You are a Godsend...I also found your videos after being the 2nd choice for what I know was a perfect fit and with another where I wasn't chosen against an internal candidate. I have kept in touch with two hiring managers as I've had opportunities to share new info , like a new certification etc. But I love the action step of I'll be happy to come back to interview again or be considered for other positions as well as the "genuinely respect th e decision". It was this that was missing from my emails, ...thank you so much !
You are sooooo welcome!
I literally got offered a job, negotiated salary then they changed their minds but to me this is not a no! they even left it open ended as to connecting later down the road.
This is an awesome tip, at least show them you are a resilient person with integrity thank you Andy :-)
For sure Natalie!
I will say I tried this after not getting the job and I ended up getting the job. It wasn’t because of my following up though. The recruiter stated he didn’t know I was already working for the company as a contractor. Therefore, I actually could get the job. I believe someone dropped out and he felt it was an easy way to fill the spot. With that being said always follow up you just never know!
Great to hear!!
Hi Andy
I worked on the skills they said I lacked, and then emailed them about my progress.
It’s been 5 min that I’ve send the email, manifesting a positive response!!
Wish me luck 😊
Good wishes!!!
About to try this one out. They told me I was one of their best candidates but went with someone else. The job posting reopened a week later. Fingers crossed!
Good luck!!
Send a nice email, but don't ever take a Job at that company. They didn't see it in you and that hasn't changed they just needed you to clean up for the previous hire once you get a No move on.
Been rejected more than 12X for my dream Job took me years to study in school. I cry and cry every day cause while i was pregnant i went up and down looking for job two months after C/S delivery am back on the road only to get rejected again and again. Am depressed but i will use this method next time. Thank you
Thanks Andrew.I feel much better after watching your video.
Great to hear!
Success is a trial and error process until you make it. Thats it.
💥 boom.
I'm always getting rejected by big 4 accounting firms. Please help.
find a person that works there to at least get you in front of someone... then sell yourself from there...
I did this so politely, it’s been 2 weeks and nothing happened they didn’t even replied to my email and im crying now so badly.
Most companies won't reply until they need you! BTW, this is about setting your next contact with them. Wait a month and reach back to see if anything has changed!
It’s okay move on, you will be successful or they may call you back!
Thank you very much Andy for sharing this video - I followed everything you said here and sent my thank you email within 24 hours of receiving the rejection. I don't know if they will keep me in view for the future but I definitely love the "stay classy" stance. Thanks Andy for all that you do!
You're welcome Hazelina! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!!
Were you able to get it please?
Thank you even though I was rejected and make mistake write email try to convince them but later thy take me desperate that how it end.your message is powerful.
Go get em!!
Hi Andy,
Thanks for this advice, though I completely feel deflated and bruised and unworthy.
I know dramatic, but job rejection when you really really want the job, totally sucks.
Best wishes,
Helen
shadow97toast hang in there Helen! Everything happens for a reason. Give this a shot and if it doesn’t work out take comfort in knowing that place just wasn’t worthy of you!
Andrew LaCivita thanks Andy, one can only live in hope! Though after so many knock backs... it takes a whole lot of magic to pull yourself up...
shadow97toast it sure does, but imagine how ecstatic you’ll be when you that victory!
Hi Andy, can I connect with you for some 1:1 coaching ?

Only one position where I interviewed in person have I ever been denied the position, after more research I realized I got luck not getting it.
Whew!!!
I have some reservations about this because it's like do you really want to work for someone who has rejected you previously. I know it's different, but if you wanted to date someone and they rejected you outright because they found someone better but then changed their mind, the second offer would feel a little sour.
I agree completely, I wont beg these lame ass companies. These follow up letters just seem so fake to me.
There are many reasons why they'd do that. Probably they found someone with more experience than you and decided to move ahead with them but that person decided not to take up that offer so now they're back asking you if you're still interested which I think is fair. Maybe you could ask for a higher salary this time because they rejected you at first. This is if it's a company you really like and it's your dream job. If not then it's probably better to move on.
i got rejected many interviews from aws. microsoft and so on.. then i also got hired from those companies time after a time. i did exactly the same answers in the interview but only hiring managers were different. so its just manager mood nothing else. most of the hiring managers actually didnt know %10 of what i know. and the people they said they are so proud to get hired the best were any other average joes.
I wish I had found this corporate Version of a Jedi mind trick two weeks ago? I like it
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm 4 years late, but thank you for this gem Andrew!
Sandra, you're never late. You found me when you needed me!
@@andylacivita I sure did! I’m a new subbie!
@@CallMeBossLady attababy! Love to hear it!!
Great tips. Rejection at work can be very difficult to deal with.
It sure can!!
I’m only 17 and I’ve been applying for many jobs since August of 2018. I’m only getting more of a an aggressive person with pure angry hatred rage to those who had rejected me. I just feel like I should start robbing and stealing all because I simply can’t get a job. I’m so broke now. It’s so simple and all they got to do is hire me and it’ll be over. It’s already in the beginning of February and I’m still can’t get hired in a(BEEP) job. I’m just getting rejected because the more I get rejected the more hatred in my heart I get. I’ve been rejected at cookout,Dunkin’ Donuts,Ihop,Burger King,Taco Bell,dominos,papa john’s,and at little ceasars(which was my biggest chance to get hired but the manager told me that I didn’t passed the interview and I might come back to get the job soon.)
Recently I’ve been rejected at McDonald’s which is only getting me so tired of looking for jobs that I feel like giving up because even not giving up isn’t working enough for me to get a job. When will this be over!? I just hope I get a job soon. As well as passing all of my classes. Even praying doesn’t work if it does.
I have got an interview today. Unfortunately, even my application was given close consideration it has been unsuccessful. Thank you very much, Andrew! I will send this email today.
Go move Tatiana!!
Thank you Andrew! I love your classy script of handling rejections from future employers! Used it with some modifications and hope it can turn the game around.
Wonderful to hear!!
I took your steps today, thank you. I was very disappointed I didn’t get the position but I did what you said. Great advice. I love your Chanell
Th am you Brandy. Hang in there. I know it will pan out for you!
Andrew LaCivita Thank you I pray so.
I remember I got rejected from an interview who went SO WELL but they took someone with more experiences. I decide to call the manager and thank me for live this experience and we keep in touch. The manager told me how he love my personnality and keep my CV for 3 months. I got another job but we keep in touch in connection on LinkedIn.
Always keep class and humility !
💯
So happy I stumbled upon this video. I just got rejected for a job I REALLY wanted and am feeling really down. I'm going to use this technique and see what happens. Thanks.
Good luck with this. Hope it goes well!!
This has happened to me three times in the last 45 days.
Starts at 5:05
Youre like the superman of the corporate hiring world
This is awesome my friend. Thank you for making me smile this morning! Glad you are enjoying the material!!!
Love the title, Andy...You can't help but click, and then you DELIVER!
Thanks my friend. I do my best to deliver the goods! :) BTW. I'm in the middle of a 3-day live event, but am looking forward to checking the latest video you just dropped!
Andrew LaCivita 3-day live event...Ironman status!
LOL. I'm live 23 hours in the next 18 days. No lie.
@James Schultz, Ph.D. - I just watched your video on Aldosterone. Gold! I've battled with this for decades. I've been aware of the hydration vs. sodium-intake balance, but haven't really nailed the science behind it. Makes perfect sense-thanks! Lately, I've been doing much better at keeping excess water retention off by monitoring sodium intake vs. water/fluids, along with adding Pink Himalayan Rock Salt into my daily diet. Working great. Great video!
Nice. that was a fun one.
Same here I got rejected now I'm doing more research for another job interview. It involves an internal vacancy role for a higher position. Thank you for your advice
You're welcome!
I found out today that I didn't get the job. I watched this video and sent a follow up email to the person who conducted my interview.
Let's see what happens next, thank you anyway.
You’re welcome!
@@andylacivita i didn't get the response yet. All I can do is move forward and I don't know whether they would respond or not.
thank you for these tips. Heartbroken that I didn't get my dream job, was told that they put the interview process on hold for Q1 of next year and that they would reconsider me for the role however I feel that it was just a nice way to reject me. Sent an email as you suggested and will hold my head up high
You're welcome for the tips! Sorry it didn't work out, but know that something better is coming your way.
Great tips as always, Andy! What you might call an "upgraded epiphany" just hit. As you know, a similar experience happened with me recently, and I had already planned to send them a classy "thank you" email, despite the rhetoric, as I believe the company to be awesome, and the person I dealt with wasn't the HR person assigned to this particular role. In any respect, after watching this, I now have a better idea on how to word that email for maximum impact! Much appreciated, my friend!
You're welcome Pat. Always appreciate the engagement and support from you!
Can you ever ask for a redo interview when stating you underperformed and know you can do better?
I have gotten rejected 3 times and I'm so bombed out and I just moved my fiance has he's previous job but it hasn't been easy for me.
I really wanted a job and I had all the experience of big companies and education, and I didnt get the job despite a good (not perfect) interview. Ok I am doing this.
Wish me Luck.
so I tried it and nothing
guess not everyone is lucky! There is no formula, its just luck in the end
Hang in the Usman. You got this!!
This is fantastic. Thank you for helping me get over my rejection blues.
Glad to help!!
