When a job application is rejected, you often get a response like the following: 'Thank you for your application and your very interesting CV. You have a lot of experience for this job. However, we have received other applications that fit the profile even better, so unfortunately we have to turn you down. This all sounds very nice and appreciative. But if you're really honest, it's often not true. It is often not true that you have the required skills for the job, and the CV is not always as interesting as it is made out to be. Honest would be: We have chosen someone else who we think is more suitable because, unlike you, he or she is stronger in ... etc. Honesty hurts sometimes. But it can also help. So honesty is a two-sided thing: it helps to tell the truth and therefore to improve, but it also hurts. But going to the doctor is often painful too.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
