Job Rejection Letters

[rmtemsguy]

Is it your experience that most hospitals send letters notifying you that you weren't chosen for a job (i.e. rejection letters), or do you just usually hear nothing back from them?

Thanks for your feedback!

In the last year and countless applications for jobs I have gotten a total of two rejection emails and one call from a job I actually interviewed for.

When I apply I generally get that kick back email that I'm not qualified enough. Only if I interview do I not hear anything back.

Nine times out of ten I never hear anything again. One time out of ten I'll receive the personalized rejection email from a recruiter, typically after I've interviewed with someone.

I've only been rejected once for a job I actually interviewed for. I'm not sure if I would have heard anything, but they had told me during the interview that they would be letting me know w/in the week one way or the other. I didn't hear, so I called to find out what was up...it was just over the week mark, and I figured I wasn't hired but didn't want to wonder anymore.

I have submitted apps but not gotten an interview; for those I've usually gotten a form e-mail saying something like "upon careful review, we have decided to pursue other candidates."

emails...lots of them. Thanks for applying but we've chosen someone whose skills are closer to the job requirements...blah blah

I've actually experienced both, but it seems that most of the time I will receive a rejection e-mail rather than hearing nothing at all. Give it awhile and if you still haven't heard anything back I would go ahead and call to ask about the status of your application.
