How to send not acceptance mail for interview
The not-so-fun part of the interview process!
Sending a "thank you for considering me" or "regret to inform you" email after an interview is a professional courtesy that shows you appreciate the opportunity and respect the interviewer's time. Here's a sample email template you can use as a guide:
Template:
Subject: Thank you for the opportunity to interview
Dear [Interviewer's Name],
I wanted to express my gratitude for taking the time to speak with me yesterday about the [Position] role at [Company]. I appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the position and your team's work.
After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I have decided not to move forward with the interview process. Please know that this decision was not made lightly, and I was truly impressed by the company culture and the team's passion for their work.
Thank you again for your time and consideration. I wish the company all the best in finding the right candidate for the position.
Best regards,
[Your Name]
Tips:
- Be prompt: Send the email within 24 hours of the interview, while the conversation is still fresh in the interviewer's mind.
- Be professional: Use a formal tone and language throughout the email.
- Be respectful: Acknowledge the interviewer's time and express gratitude for the opportunity.
- Be clear: State your decision clearly and concisely, without going into details.
- Keep it brief: Aim for a length of around 100-150 words.
- Proofread: Double-check for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors before sending the email.
Remember, this email is not an opportunity to negotiate or ask questions about the position. It's a polite way to decline the opportunity and show appreciation for the interviewer's time.
