Hey {NAME}, The first time I applied to Google, I was immediately rejected. The first time I applied to Microsoft, same result. No phone screen, no nothing. I applied to both several more times and received rejections across the board. The first time I was referred into Google, I was rejected â still no phone screen. The first time I was referred into Microsoft, the recruiter said I wasnât a good fit for the role. The second time I was referred into Google, I finally got it -- the coveted phone screen. I made it through the interview process to the offer stage. Around the same time, I landed another opportunity at Microsoft - they wanted to bring me for an interview. I did my research, prepped my butt off, and made a Value Validation Project. I received my offer from Microsoft and accepted it. Moral of the story? If you really want that job, you canât stop at the first ânoâ (or the second, or the third). You need to get creative and you need to keep showing up. Persistence pays! Donât just take my word for it either, check out Chrisâs story. He switch up his approach to overcome 196 total rejections during his job search and landed an offer at Disneyð How do you make this happen? One strategy I've found to boost our client's chances of turning rejections into offers is what I call a "Post-Rejection Thank You Note." While thanking a team that's rejected you might feel difficult to do, it's one of the best ways to keep the door open for future opportunities. Here's how you write one in 4 simple steps: 1. Thank them for taking the time to consider you 2. Wish them a ton of success with the hire they made 3. Mentioned specific things that you loved about the company, team, and speaking with them! 4. Ask if it'd be ok for you to stay in touch For example: "Hi Jamie, Thanks so much for taking the time to chat with me last week! I heard the team made a hire, I'm super excited for you all and I'm wishing you a ton of success with [Initiative]. I really enjoyed interviewing at [Company], and I especially enjoyed our chat about the future of blockchain in the health tech space. If you're up for it, I'd love to stay in touch! Either way, have an awesome rest of the week." Now set a calendar invite to follow up with these people once / month. Aim to add value with your touch points. I promise they'll lead you to more opportunities. Be well, Austin PS - How good is your LinkedIn headline?
