Rejection Letter
Review Rating Score
Sometimes it's part of the job to bring unpleasant news to talented -but not suitable- job candidates. In the end, there is only 1 person who is the best fit for the job. Not all job applications and resumes will receive positive answers, and that's only normal. A well-drafted rejection letter will the be next response you need to send out, and if kindly and positively written, it can soften the blow.
