How to write a rejection email that doesn't suck
Briefly

When employers try to control or influence an individual’s emotional response during a rejection, it becomes problematic. The intent can be misunderstood, creating additional discomfort.
Many candidates apply based on current market conditions, so it’s crucial to create a thoughtful rejection experience. A cute or overly creative rejection can feel insensitive.
Students can often tell if their application was rejected by the size of the envelope, much like job applicants scanning emails for the word 'unfortunately'.
Cutting the fluff in rejection emails is important. It’s a balancing act of wanting to be kind but not allowing excessive compassion to overwhelm the message.
