That is piss poor. I can't help taking that sort of thing as an insult at work.

If someone doesn't even have the respect to read what they've written and spend more than 10 seconds considering an email then I'll pay them the same time back and make thier life as hard as possible.......although if it's a senior I have to bite my tongue and curse them under my breath

i think they are taking the piss and suspect that your 'vast' knowledge does not extend to the kind of stuff needed for the job such as HTML and PHP.

Now rejection letters is one thing, refusing to even repsond is another, but taking the piss is just low. I wonder if Siggi could be persuaded to exact revenge on this self important hirer n firer.

Admittedly, Id be quite pleased if I had your skills, but I guess they are looking for someone with programming experience rather than IT support experience.

Just in case you want to send a reply:


Dear Deborah,

I fear you may have sent this e-mail in error. It is addressed to someone called Keith whereas my name is Stuart. By curious coincidence though, my surname does happen to be Keith. Maybe this is where confusion arose. Also, I note the intended recipient was applying for a "traine position" (sic) - this can't have been me because although I have recently applied to Techtronics for an advertised role (another coincidence it seems) I have no experience in railways whatsoever, my particular forté being IT.

I would, however, like to take this opportunity to remind you that I have yet to hear from Techtronics with regard to my own job application. I look forward to receiving your reply, if only for entertainment value.

Best regards
STUART Keith

Wow, I wish my HTML skills were that good. They also seem to have adopted a minimalist approach to the design scheme which I particularly like, I feel it represents the company as a cutting edge and modern with a strong corporate identity.
