It's Just The Way It Is

Last week, I sent a follow up email for a job I was really interested in. You guys think I am making it up how shitty it can be out here, here is the exchange of emails only the names have been changed to protect the innocent (or guilty).

Mr. XXXX,
I was just checking in, it has been a while. I know that you all are taking you time to fill your XX position, but I just wanted to keep my name fresh in your mind. I would drop what I am doing here in St. Louis for an opportunity to "come home" and be the next head guy in XXXXXXX. I have a fresh audition if you need it and I am available to come down and see you in person, if you so desire. Just wanted to refresh your memory (I am sure you have been swamped), I am a former consultant, programmer in Kansas City, Operations Manager in Lincoln Nebraska and I grew up in XXX. Thanks for your time, sir and I hope to hear from you soon.
All my best,
Randy Raley
314-XXXXXXXX


and then he sends me this.....


Randy,
Thank you for your note, hwever, you are not in consideration for the position.
Sorry.
RXXX

This shit is getting to be too funny.

No, I know you're not making it up; I get the same type of responses in a far different industry..even worse, when seeking a position I'm qualified for within a company a currently work for.

Ditto and Double ditto...not only that, besides my current profession, I teach students that will be entering my current profession. I teach them the proper way to respond, cover letters, etc....and then they have to put up with that kind of B.S.......these people need some heart, but they need an education.

That is COLD! People should learn some manners. That was unnecessary...
