After the Rejection: What Rejection
Throw out all business cards received from the company. Delete all email communication with the company. Don’t talk about it. Don’t learn lessons. Don’t dwell on it. Pretend it never happened. Avoid deflation. In fact, pretend you never got the rejection letter or phone message and send them a letter telling them you have decided you are not interested, that the company was not an appropriate fit for your career expectations.

Follow up is everything in today's competitive job market. So many applicants do a great job upfront presenting their personal brand, but completely strike out when it comes to sending a thank you. Very few employers are sold after the first pitch–the bulk of hiring happens with a strong follow up.
Selling yourself is no different. Great post!
