NDTV
The user said that "the choice of wording left me feeling better about myself."
Rejection letters are not easy for anybody. Whether it is to a job candidate telling him that he didn't get the position or to a start-up founder that he might not get any funding- these are the emails most of us dread reading. However, the correct language and comfort can make it easier for the candidate to accept the news. Recently, a user took to Reddit and shared that he received a job rejection from a company and he found it to be "very comforting".
Reddit user ready-4-it wrote on the platform, "This may seem like a run of the mill rejection letter, but the choice of wording left me feeling better about myself. Am I overthinking this?" He also shared a screenshot where the company is seen telling the employee about their decision. They wrote, "We were impressed with your application and felt you were a strong candidate for the role of Freelance/Consultant General Legal Counsel. Unfortunately on this occasion, we felt there were candidates that were marginally better suited for the role, with whom we have decided to progress. We would love to retain your details, whether that be because we would like to reconsider your application for this role, or consider you for future roles with EXTREME International." They further thanked the user for his interest and wished him luck for the future.
Since being shared, the post has amassed a lot of reactions from users.
