Dear Michael,This is to inform you that, after our interview and reviewing your resume and references, we have decided to hire another candidate for this position. While your qualifications were impressive and your references had nothing but praise for your work ethic and achievements, we feel that this is not the right time for you to join our company.We will keep your resume and contact information on file until the next time we have an opening. Thank you for your understanding.
Dialogue Example:
(Rejection Letter) Michael has just received a letter of rejection from a company he applied to work for. He is talking to his girlfriend, Amy about it. Let's listen to their conversation.
Michael: I can't believe it!
Amy: What happened?
Michael: They didn't hire me! I don't understand why.
Amy: Really? I thought you said the interview went really well. Does it explain why in the letter?
Michael: All it says is that I looked like I would be great but they hired somebody else, anyway. Unbelievable.
Amy: Well, that sounds like the standard thing they tell everybody. Maybe you just weren't the right fit for their office environment.
Michael: Well, they did seem a bit more conservative than I was used to. Maybe I should be more boring so I could get a job.
Amy: No, no, just keep being yourself. There's a good company and a great job out there for you. I know it!
親愛的麥可：在此通知您：經過我們的面試並審查您的履歷和推薦信後，我們已決定雇用另一位應徵者擔任此職位。您的能力令人印象深刻，推薦信函裡所述也全為讚美您的工作倫理與成就，然而我們覺得此時並非您加入本公司的好時機。我們會將您的履歷和聯絡資料留存，以供日後有職缺時使用。感謝您的諒解。
對話範例：
(拒絕信函)Michael剛剛收到他去應徵工作的公司寄來的拒絕信函。他正在和他的女友，Amy談論此事。來聽聽看他們的對話吧。
Michael: 我不相信！
Amy: 發生什麼事了？
Michael: 他們沒有聘請我！我不明白為什麼。
Amy: 真的嗎？我以為你說那天面試很順利。信裡面有說明為什麼嗎？
Michael: 裡頭只說我看起來很棒，但是他們終究還是聘請了別人。真令人無法相信。
Amy: 那聽起來像是官方說法。或許你真的不適合他們的辦公環境。
Michael: 他們似乎確實比我之前的公司還更保守點。或許我應該表現得更無趣才能找到工作。
Amy: 不，別這樣，只要繼續做你自己就好。一定有好公司和很棒的工作在等著你。我知道一定是這樣！
