With a net worth of 4.9 billion USD (2015), billionaire Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Group with more than 400 subsidiaries operating in many fields around the world, is a role model. business acumen and desire to make people's lives better (including Virgin employees).

He always values ​​the importance of his employees and once said that an entrepreneur who wants to be successful must have a dedicated team of supporters.

That is for "people in the house". So, how do you treat failed candidates to the Virgin? The story below, shared by him on his personal blog, has spread quickly, especially in the human resources world, with the desire to "make the world a better place".

Sam Cox applied for the flight attendant position for subsidiary Virgin Atlantic but was unsuccessful during the interview process. And here's what Richard Branson sent Sam:

"Dear Ms. Sam Cox,

I am very sorry that her application for Virgin Atlantic was not successful this time, but I want to give you some encouragement for her to try again next time.

I once flew with a rival Virgin airline, and I was impressed with the flight attendant's in-flight service. I said, "Why don't you join the Virgin?", The hostess replied: "I applied, but it was unsuccessful."

This shows me that the very good Virgin employees I have been in contact with may fail the interview round (usually due to overcrowding). Please continue to apply for the application.

To thank you for taking the time to apply and to encourage you to continue to apply, I attach a £ 20 voucher for you to use on the plane or to make duty-free purchases while flying with Virgin.

Wishing you success in the future.

Best regards.

Richard Branson

Chairman

Virgin Group "

As for Sam, she persisted in applying and successfully served as an assistant to Richard Branson.

In an interview, he also shared: "Companies should treat everyone well - employees, customers, job seekers, and even those who have just heard about the company.
