Thank you for applying, but the position has been offered to another applicant. How hard is that for you to understand? Coming back to our office building a week later with the letter of rejection asking why you didn’t get offered the job, and going all crazy on the receptionist did nothing but ensure we will never, ever hire you. Your lack of professionalism displayed your true colors and personality. For the record, you did well in the interview but the person who was offered the position simply had more experience in the industry and extensive post-secondary education. I suggest you take some anger management courses, and lessons on human interaction. Best of luck to you and whatever company hires you. —HR

not sure what “all ghetto” entails….. but many job search guides encourage you to find out why you didn’t get the job so you can try and do better in future interviews. Maybe they were just a bit frustrated with all the rejections and wanted a better explanation about their interview.
those same search guides encourage people not to take “no” for an answer and that “persistence pays off” so that may well be why they showed up looking for answers too.
If they were unprofessional or rude then obviously that’s a different story.
Heheeee, HR bitches.
Oh and “all ghetto” would be yelling with fingers snapping, neck flicking, feet stomping. Just a general flailing of all body parts. From my experiences anyway.
Yes Mel, and if memory serves , the word “muhfuggah” or some variation thereof would have put in an appearance.
throw in some “oh no you di’nttt” and some z-snaps?
Did I hear someone suck their teeth?
Rejection letter….LOL. Maybe that’s why they are pissed. Hell, at least the company had the decency to send out a letter. The company could have let the ‘applicant’ waiting and waiting indefinitely.
was it that hard to just tell them that? I would like to know what I was rejected on also so I can address the weaknesses.
If it was asked in an unprofessional manner then I can understand.
HR 101: People who get interviewed get the courtesy of a phone call, not a letter. That’s when you discuss why they weren’t successful – if they ask. And all applicants should get a letter. Tisk tisk. HR indeed. Gutless.
Not that the applicant should have behaved like that, mind you.
