The other day I applied for a job online. I skimmed the job
description and emailed my cover letter and resume right away and put it on my
list of jobs to follow up with. The very next day I got an email saying “thank
you for your interest but your qualifications did not match those needed for
this position,” and I was happy! You must be thinking that I’ve totally lost my
mind, but I haven’t! A large majority of my applications get sent in to a black
hole where no one ever emails, calls, answers the phone, or maybe even exist.
Just by sending that quick little email, she eliminated a lot of unnecessary
following up from unqualified candidates. How not annoying that will be! This
company is brilliant, or wait, actually they’re simply courteous. Dear Company,
thank you for your prompt rejection letter, I thoroughly appreciated it.
