Course 3, Discussion 3: When you don't get the role you want

@FrenchToast

If you find out you were not given a role, how should you respond? What would you say to the leader who has informed you?
If i found out I wasn't given a role, I would kindly ask for the feedback and areas of improvement. I would also thank the leader for taking time to evaluate my progress and inform me about the result.

@pandanfe crisp and concise !! Well done panda 🐼

@FrenchToast

Though we might be naturally disappointed, it's important to respond in a composed and constructive manner. Also demonstrating maturity, a positive attitude, and a willingness to remain engaged and supportive is what's more crucial.

We can approach the leader who informed us to give some inputs about what is expected and how we can improve.

✒️Question: If you find out you were not given a role, how should you respond? What would you say to the leader who has informed you?

This is what I would say:

Hi (Insert Leader’s Name) Thank you so much for letting me know 💛 I appreciate that. If it’s okay, do you think you could let me know how I can improve? I would appreciate it very much 💛 But if you’re not really comfy with that, that’s okies too :3

Again, thank you so much for letting me know. I hope you have an awesome pawesome day/night! 💛

Ans :- Hi, thank you for informing me about this and to be honest I'm a bit upset but also motivated to work on my shortcomings and get a role in my next chance. Your feedback would be appreciated. 

@LOOPHOLE

Hi, Loop. It's impressive that we can accept such rejection with an open heart to work on our shortcoming and expecting feedback.

✒️Question: If you find out you were not given a role, how should you respond? What would you say to the leader who has informed you?

Hearing unapproval news is challenging, especially as I choose role that i concerned the most, but I'm OK. I will connect with Mentors to improve my skills. I hope I can join the team at the next opportunity. Can I get feedback on things I can do better to suit this role? Thank you in advance.

If you find out you were not given a role, how should you respond?

I would not respond badly, as it can be an understandable thing. I would try and understand the things that may have disqualified me from getting the role, and if possible try and work on those things so that if I was to try again that I can ensure things will turn out better. :)

What would you say to the leader who has informed you?:

I would tell them thank you for their time and for notifying me of the news, and that it is not too big of a deal. That I would/may not try again depending on whether it is achievable or not for the timebeing

@8grim8

Acceptance, gratitude for their time, and the promise to improve. You've written the perfect response! :)

@FrenchToast

• In response to not getting the role, I would express gratitude for the opportunity, ask for constructive feedback, and convey my commitment to improving. I'd thank the leader for their time and guidance.
  
• To my peer, your resilience shines through challenges. Embrace the process, learn from it, and keep pursuing your goals. You've got this! 💪🌟

@WeEarth Love this response! Go you 🌟

✒️Question: If you find out you were not given a role, how should you respond? What would you say to the leader who has informed you?

I would thank them for the opportunity and the time they took to review my application, and ask for constructive feedback so when I apply for a different role, I can make improvements. 

I won't let it discourage me, when one door closes another one opens :) 

@Shannon1996

i think your comment about when one door closes another opens is an important thing to remember when we don’t get a role that we wanted.

@FrenchToast

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.  I understand.  Is there something I can do to improve my skills so that I can get the role when I apply at a later time?

Responding should be taken with a reflective, courteous response.

If presented with a "decline" by a leader:

if i found out that i was not given a role, i would respond by remaining emotionally calm and realizing that there is always a "next time". i would respond to the corresponding leader who gave me the disappointing news, by saying "thank you so much for your message and for your time, i greatly appreciate it!"

@NewYorker11
