Although rejection is an unavoidable aspect of the job search process, how you respond to it can reveal a lot about your professionalism and character. Before you react, give yourself some timerummy golds to process your feelings if you learn that you were not chosen for a position. It's normal to feel let down, but it's important to keep your cool. If appropriate, include a polite thank-you email asking for feedback on your performance and thanking you for the interview opportunity. This demonstrates maturity and opens the door to potential future opportunities within the company.
