Resume Preparation Tips: Handling Unsuccessful Emails



Writing a resume can be daunting and a daunting task however when you keep getting rejected, it's soul destroying. These resume preparation tips will help you write the perfect resume and stand out from the competition. 

Resume Preparation Tips: Handling Unsuccessful Emails 

When you receive an email rejection always reply to find out why. Many times, you will get a generic answer, however, sometimes the recruiter will give you some solid feedback which you can use to make a change.

A simple email response template I recommend is as follows:

 

Hi [Insert recruiter's first name only],

Thank you for your reply. It is a shame I wasn’t as successful as I was hoping to build on my [insert something relevant] experience.

So I can ensure my application aligns to the role if it comes up again, can you please provide me with some feedback about how I can improve my application?

I have attached my resume and cover letter to the email to save you some time.

I look forward to your response. 

Kind regards,

 

[Insert your full name]

 

As Tony Robbins says, decide what you want and act! Notice what is working and what is not! Change your approach until you achieve what you want! 

At The Perfect Resume, we do not claim to have a 100% success rate. After all, some of our clients are updating their resume for school assignments or to not forget career milestones in the event they do need their resume down the track, one client uses us so he can write a book one day about his career journey! When you consider you normally have a 2% chance of being shortlisted for a position, we increase your chances of being selected for an interview by 71% within three months. This also means, 29% of applicants will still be receiving unsuccessful letters. 

Don't be scared to ask WHY?

Perhaps you are applying for a position that is a little too out of your league, maybe you appear overqualified, underqualified, perhaps the position went to an internal applicant and you really didn't even have a chance. It might be you are missing a keyword on your resume that they were searching for. Even the recruiter can offer you resume preparation tips so you wont get rejected for the role next time. 

You will never know unless you ask! Contact The Perfect Resume! We are here to help with resume preparation tips!

Defence Industry related with levels of privacy and discretion. The speed and professionalism of the service they provided me was exceptional. What I loved most was that they were willing to be blunt where others were not. Identifying weaknesses in my resume that most people are blind to see for themselves.

Melissa was awesome. She engaged me in the process, gave really good insight and did a fantastic job with my resume. I had previously got someone else to redo my resume for me and they had done a really bad job. But this one is amazing and up to date and all ATS tracked and checked. I would HIGHLY recommend this company if you need help with resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn! They know what they are doing and really work with you.
