Rejecting Rejection Letters

As a follow-up to the previous post, here's an example of how to gracefully respond to a rejection letter from your future employer:

[Mr. / Ms. Recruiter]
[Title]
[Office]
[Address 1]
[Address 2]
[City, State] [Zip]



[Mr. / Ms. Recruiter],


Thank you for informing me of your decision to pursue other candidates for the [Name Of Position] position in your office. While I am disappointed that you are unable to offer me an interview, I would like to respectfully request that you keep my resume on file for future consideration.

Furthermore, as I continue to search for employment in [City] and throughout the state of [State], I would greatly appreciate any advice that you might have in regards to my resume and cover letter. Also, I am very interested in any strategies you would suggest for finding legal employment in your specific region of the country.
