✒️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 ask what I could do better to prepare to be a better candidate for this role.  Also, I would thank them for the opportunity to have been interviewed or applied.  And should there be another opportunity I'd love to apply again.  Any feedback would be welcomed.  I would use this information to better prepare for another time to apply when my skills are more appropriate.

Hi, leader's Name

Thank you for letting me know about the decision regarding the role. While I'm disappointed, I understand and respect the choice made. I would appreciate any feedback you could provide on how I can improve and better prepare myself for future opportunities. I’m eager to learn and grow from this experience. Thank you again for considering my application and for your support.

@alllrightyyyyyyThat's a really nice and responsible way of responding.

Hi "Leader's Name".

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 accept what it is. If the role was not given, I would take some time to ask what is there that I need to adjust and review on why I have been rejected. Main rule to get feedback like this is to not take it personally. It is best to have a mentor with you to go over some reviews and improve yourself from there.

@casterDjack great response

@FrenchToast I would accept the response and kindly ask what I can do next time to improve. I would then relax and have a self-care day, maybe watch a TV show with some comfort food

Hi I see that I did not have the role that I applied to and I understand that. What can I do to be better next time? I want to better me.

@patientShell1003

Good Response

@FrenchToast

If I find out I didn't get a role, I should respond with gratitude and a positive attitude.

I would say to the leader,

Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate the opportunity to apply. Can you please provide me with some feedback on how I can improve next time?

@Damonchandio That's a great message!

@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?

I think you should respond politely asking for constructive criticism from the leader and if feedback is given to try to learn on what you can improve. I think you can should say Hi! I heard I didn't get the role and congrats to the people you did. Just wondering whether you had any feedback which I could improve on or anything which I did well. If not, that's okay. Thank you for the time.

@Ivebutterfly

Very well said!

@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?

I would say something similar to this: 

Heyy *leader name* thanks for letting me my results i can't say am not a little disappointed of it , i would really appreciate it if you gave me a feedback on my results take your time i know you are busy thankss for your hard work.

@Noor511 that's a really good response, good luck in your future application! 

@FrenchToastQuestion: 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 accept it. Nothing in life is guaranteed but I would contact the leader to ask if there are any feedback to improve on my next application 

@CaringCompanion22

Yup, you are right!

Hello Leader!

Thank you for responding to my request earlier. I understand my proposal got rejected which is slightly upsetting to me at the moment, however, I'll definitely take into account the pointers you've mentioned in the areas I need to develop and will surely work on it. I sincerely hope to work with you soon. Thanks again for your continued support and care. I really appreciate this!
