archenemy Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm looking for some input from you guys on how to better find a fucking job. So far, I have followed up with a few possibilities with the following correspondance: Subject: Human Resources Dear Hiring Manager, Thank you for your letter of January 16. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me a position in your department at this time. This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite your company's outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will assume the position in your department this February. I look forward to seeing you then. Best of luck in rejecting future applicants. Sincerely, Interviewee However, I am not sure I am getting my point across. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekend_Climberz Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 You never stated in your letter the industry that you were in. Maybe that's why they won't hire you, or maybe it's the slutty clothes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm currently job hunting. I get back letters that say. "We have found other candidates that are more qualified." when I felt I was over-qualified. I have a BS and tons of experience, are people with Master's applying to the same job as me? Just had an interview today and was asked back for a second interview. They stated that they will be interviewing all week for one position. Doesn't get my hopes up, that's for sure. Well good luck.

I feel your pain brother. I have a Master's and I been getting turned down. Hurts. I feel like I am getting rejected for prom or something. I'm going soft in my old age.

olyclimber Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hand deliver all resumes, meeting with hiring person if possible. Makes a difference as opposed to just mailing in a resume and expecting them to hire you. Of course, you could try to get in via nepotism, or as in my case my incredible Charlie Brown sincerity. I rarely wait longer than 30 minutes in the the pumpkin patch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archenemy Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 You are a sweety, Oly. You are also in IT and like me, probably have not actually seen a piece of paper in approximately three years. Can I get a delivery boy instead?

Weekend_Climberz Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm assuming you tried a hiring agency. My g/f gets calls from them all the time and she doesn't even want a job right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Print your resume in binary, and when they ask you what it is, tell them that they are stupid that must hire you immediately if they expect to succeed in the Highly Interactive Web 3.0 World of the Future (AKA the Googleplex).
