Whether you get a job offer or not, follow up with a thank-you letter. You’d be surprised how few candidates actually take this simple step. Most recruiters tell rejected applicants they will keep their résumés on file, and a few actually mean it. But if you send a great letter accepting the recruiter’s decision and suggesting that if another position more suitable opened up you would very much like for the company to consider you, chances are much greater that the recruiter would follow through.

There is one strategy for cutting through the pretense, but it’s pretty strong medicine and it doesn’t always work. Of course, you have little to lose. I personally have had success with it, so I know it can pay off. After you are rejected for a position and you genuinely don’t know why, call the interviewer.

This is the time when embracing rejection pays off. You have to understand exactly why you were rejected. There is really only one way to do this. You have to ask the person who rejected you why.

No one likes to be rejected, but if you are serious about your career in the long term, you must learn to embrace rejection. In the course of your career you will get rejected for a lot of reasons-some valid, some not so valid-and sometimes for no reason at all. The challenge of embracing rejection is to accept your limitations, transform hopelessness into action, and learn from each rejection.

Only after significant mutual interest is established or an actual job offer is in hand should you ask questions about the community where you will be living and working. The precious time of the interview is better spent on establishing mutual interest. There will be ample time to collect this information after the interview.

Conversations about moving expenses, like benefits, are premature until after the company has made you an offer or expressed strong interest. Relocating an employee is expensive, and few companies will enter into it lightly. The company’s willingness to do so puts you in a position of power. Now is the time for you to gain a complete understanding of how the company treats relocation expenses.
