What should I do after a rejection to stay in touch with the construction employer?

Here are four tips for staying on construction recruiters' radars for new job opportunities.

• Keep cool following a rejection. Being turned down for a job can hurt, but avoid expressing anger or resentment toward construction recruiters.
  
• Write a thank-you. A thank-you can help reinforce your strong desire to work for a construction employer.
• Send friendly reminders. Keep in touch with construction recruiters after being passed over for a job. Keep them informed of your status and interest level in the construction employer and ask them to consider you in the future.
• Request feedback. Following a rejection, ask construction interviewers for advice on how you could have performed better.
