A bit of advice I got a while ago is, on receiving a rejection to a job application, to ask “why”. What are you looking for, that you didn’t find in my application?
I’m getting better at doing this.
Rejection email just now. So I reply and ask, what was missing.
“Unfortunately, they need a Danish speaker”.
I reply that I do speak Danish, and furthermore, it’s in my CV. She apologises and un-rejects me, allowing me to proceed further with my application.
Glad I asked. :)
