Specific situation

Received rejections: stay tuned and ask

Rejections are part of the apprenticeship search. What is important is what your child does with it: ask questions, adapt, stick with it.

That's what it's about

Multiple rejections are normal and say little about the value of your child. But they are a signal to check the strategy.

In that order

You can do that now

  1. 01

    Collect the rejections instead of suppressing them.

  2. 02

    Check the pattern: Is it related to the dossier, the professional field or the timing?

  3. 03

    Politely ask the reason for the rejection. Many companies respond.

  4. 04

    Customize strategy with career advice.

  5. 05

    Strengthen your child: A rejection is not a defeat.
