Good morning all!! Did anyone receive rejections over the weekend? We really hope you didn’t.

When should rejections be sent? It’s not an exact science and no one size fits all. Seems to be lots of support for during office hours. If you email late at night, could you schedule your rejection emails from now on?

Check this out folks!! Should we all play #100Rejections2020 together??? Or how about we all start together in 2021? Naomi’s perspective is definitely refreshing... particularly the part about picking coloured pens. If stationery is your thing, this could be for you!!!

Letting people know they haven’t made it to the next stage before you hold the next stage is a must!

Ghosting is never cool!!! If it will take you time to reply in detail, you can always let folks know. We recognise that people are busy but ghosting is dehumanising. We can all do better!

Folks, please schedule your rejection emails to go out during daytime hours to give recipients time to process before trying to switch off. It’s a small gesture that makes a huge difference.

🥴🥴🥴 Step one in sending meaningful feedback - read the email back to yourself as if you’re receiving it!

Are you involved in ensuring application processes support meaningful feedback for all? Have you worked within orgs to make this happen? We’d love to share your learning so others can follow your lead! You could blog, vlog or voicenote. Just drop us an email and we will share it!

Constant streams of rejections without any meaningful feedback can be hugely detrimental to wellbeing...

‘time equals money and can therefore be exactly the thing emerging artists don’t have much of... this problem is rarely publicly discussed – beyond bursts of frustration on Twitter – as those who need the opportunities don’t want to be seen to be critical or bitter’ Great read!

Charging applicants for feedback is not acceptable in anyway. This kind of approach continues the pattern that you only get ahead in the arts if you can pay. #RejectBetter
