So, how did it go? Did you get the job?
No, I am afraid I didn’t. I feel terrible!
Don’t get down. Think of the positive!
What can be positive about this?
Well, even the process of going through a job interview is good practice.
Future job opportunities! You will have more job opportunities.
I suppose I will.
Practice? Practice for what?
Have you actually spoken to the company yet?Johanna
Alicia No, they just left a message on my answering machine.

Alicia Thanks for the help, Johanna!
Ok, I think you should call them and graciously thank them for the interview.
I can do that.
Then, ask the manager for an appointment to ask how you can improve.
I guess that would help me with future opportunities.
I get it. I can see now how I can turn this negative into positive.
You mean, ask why I didn’t get the job?
Well, not in those words. Simply ask the manager what you can do to improve your chances of getting a job there in the future.
Johanna Exactly. The key is not to burn any bridges with the manager or company.
Exactly.

Sample job acceptance letterDear Mrs. Saunders:
It was certainly wonderful news when you called this afternoon to offer me the
general manager position for Price Corp. Please consider this letter my formal
acceptance. I am pleased to accept your offer at a salary of $42,000.00 annually.
As we agreed, my starting date will be September 5 to enable me to finish my
contract with my current employer. I also understand that I will receive full company
pay and benefits during the 8-week training program and that I am considered
probationary during that time. Thanks again, Mrs. Saunders, for offering me this
wonderful opportunity, and do let me know if I can do anything in advance of my
start date to facilitate the paperwork, or if there are any areas you’d like me to be
reading up on. I am really happy that I will be joining the Price team!
Sincerely,Bethany Wilson
