Getting a rejection email after multiple interviews can feel like a punch to the gut—but it doesn’t have to derail your entire job search. In this episode of The Recruiter’s Lounge, I share a five-step “Rejection Recovery” system to help you bounce back with confidence:

  1. Respond Positively – Craft a brief, professional follow-up that keeps doors open.

  2. Connect on LinkedIn – Turn interviewers into lasting network contacts.

  3. Set Future Alerts – Automate job updates so you never miss a new opening.

  4. Ask for Feedback – Request constructive insights to sharpen your approach.

  5. Self-Audit Performance – Review what went well and plan improvements.

Plus, emotional resilience tips—like gratitude journaling and quick mindset resets—to keep your spirits high. Download the free Rejection Recovery Mini Guide in the show notes and start your comeback today!
