Take your job and shove it - sick of rejection notices

[thx1138]

I've given up trying, as a ducker and diver, I do fine. Got a nice little part-time job with the Royal Mail for the last 4 years, do okay buying and selling junk etc, but can't get employment elsewhere.

So fuck it, I've started replying to rejection letters. I've just given up, totally. It's their loss. Stuff 'em. I don't even care ab0ut burnt bridges any more.

Dear Ms. Adams

Thank you for your rejection letter regarding DHL Exel Supply Chain.

Yours sincerely









original;




Thankyou for your application to DHL Exel Supply Chain.

Unfortunately after careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with your application. Due to the high specifications required, it was highlighted that other candidates more closely met our requirements.

Your application will be kept on file for a period of three months.

We appreciate your interest in the role and the company. Wishing you every success in your career development.

Yours sincerely

[m99dws]

That would make me keep your application and letter on file for a long time, to ensure I never hired you for any other positions.

It's not their fault there were better people than you.

Suits me.

Like I say, I no longer care for the 9 to 5,

Really, I don't. I've given up trying to fit in, I don't fit in I don't seem to be able to fit into the mainstream.

whatever, does it matter? I just wanted to vent some steam.

. Peace, love to all bikers

At least you get rejection letters companies I apply to don't even have the courtesy to say no fuck off you piece of shit we don't want your inexperienced ass working for us you cunt.

a better reply to a rejection letter is to ask for some feedback on where you could improve your skills and/or experience.. It might even be something as simple as they didn't like your CV, but you Have the skills.. knowing this stuff will help you no end. Bear in mind that if they receive 1000 CVs/applications.. they will get the briefest of looks before going into the bin, or the interview pile.

not only do you find out where you're lacking, but they are more likely to come back to you in a few months if they need someone else, cos they know you're willing. they might even have a second, more in depth, look at your application and think "hold on, lets get him and see what he's like".. it does happen, I've done it.

If i received a reply to a rejection letter like that, I'd laugh at it, and you and probably forward it around various mailing lists I'm on and while we're having a laugh at it, it's probbaly also putting nails in your coffin with any of those employers I deal with...

taking rejections like a man, and not throwing the toys out the pram is far more reasonable, and more liekly to get you noticed than an immature knee jerk response.

the problem i?

my problem is lack of relevant experience ,which cannot be corrected by anything other than a job to get such experience , hence trapped in a big hole of shite.

you would probably get more satisfaction from wiping your arse with the letter in the long run.

I keep most of my rejection letters, just so that I could reflect on what I had to go through to get to where I am, and what I will have to face up to to get to where I want to be. A few years down the line, when you look at them, you will find yourself saying 'you haven't done badly for yourself my boy'. What I found most gutting, was receiving the CV's I sent in back, along with the rejection letter. It just seems to be saying 'why did you even bother applying'.

Dear Mr. Brown

Thankyou so much for your prompt response to our letter of rejection it's nice to know that despite our use of double ply A4 paper not all letters of this type are used for the removal of dog faeces.

I am extremely sad to hear that you’ve taken our response as a rebuttal of your obvious talents. Indeed it surprises me that you did in fact have the time to attend an interview let alone reply to our communication in view of the fact that you feel that to discontinue the utilisation of DHL’s service for your successful business(es) would mean an extreme downturn in our operating profits.

I hear great things about Ebay and am positive that should you continue to concentrate your astute business brain down this avenue you will be a millionaire within no time at all by selling the contents of your bedroom. My 6 year old son was only telling me this morning that there’s always a market for Abba CD’s, second hand Wrangler jeans and Postman Pat duvet covers.

Good Luck.

DHL

people still digging this old thread up?


Well whatever. Yeah, I am so sick of getting rejection notices, I've stopped applying. I do work for the R.M part-time, for some scratch .I do all sorts of casual jobs as and when I need some cash, I do buy and sell at auctions and shit like that, work with me mate who has a haulage firm and i'm , happily married.

Oh, and I paid my mortgage off last year.

[Itchy]

lucky you then , since your rejection notices are coming in the middle of your life ,its much worse when its at the start of your working life such that you can't get a foot on the ladder no matter what.
