So I have applied a job and I have received their reply by email. Should I say something like 'thank you for your reply'(感谢您的回复) 'thank you for your considering' (感谢您的考虑) or something like that...?

If they send me an email to tell me that I am not hired when I fail an interview, can I say thank you for the notification.....? 感谢您的通知…？ (does it even make sense?

See a translation

“Thank you for your reply.” Is nice to say in response to an email.

The next one should be:
“Thank you for your consideration.”

This would be nice to say before they have considered. You could say:

“Thank you in advance for your consideration.” But it’s not necessary. The “in advance” is implied when said the other way.


After a rejection, “thank you for your consideration” is nice. As is, “thank you for your time.”

You could say:

“Thank you for letting me know. It was a pleasure speaking with you and I appreciate your time.”
