74

Since getting out of college back in the 80’s I’ve had 7 different jobs and am looking for my 8th. To get those jobs, I’ve sent out thousands of resumes and received hundreds of rejection letters.

But, I’ve never had a rejection come back as quickly as today.
I applied on line at 9:40 and at 10:54 got a rejection letter.
Technology, isn’t it great?

And, I have to say, I thought their rejection letter was a bit insulting:
“Thank you for your interest in a career with us and taking the opportunity to apply for the position of  Sr. Mechnical Engineer.  After careful review of your application, we have determined that you do not possess the qualifications necessary for the position.”

I don’t see how they can claim “careful review” in the time give.
I’ve had “Senior Engineer” on my buisiness card at 4 companies for the last 14 years. Don’t tell me I’m not qualified for it.

I know, I know, it’s just a form letter.
But, I prefer the “we don’t think your qualifications meet our needs at this time”. Or, “we don’t feel your experience is the best match for our opening.”
