“Rejected In 5 Minutes”: 35 People Share The Most Unhinged Job Rejections They Were Unfortunate Enough To Receive

Here’s a translation: “we didn’t like how you stood up for yourself and didn’t mindlessly submit so we’re not hiring you.”

I need to meet this Mr. Jones, pretty sure he's my soul mate. eBay feedback as a reference, just brilliant.

It is indeed an oxymoron, unlike the person who sent you that email who is simply a moron

This is hilarious. Best not to work for idiots.

I'm old I have both still.

This looks suable?

I’ve had my time wasted on several occasions - spend hours carefully filling in the application, go to the interview, get rejected and then no explanation why afterwards. Just rude.

Respond with cluck off.

I got rejected for a job where one of the listed required technologies was one I was partially responsible for creating (there are about 30 contributors to this project)

I mean they lied in the title of the email. What did your expect the contents to look like.

The original post was a year ago in Reddit. The OP stated they contacted a lawyer so they couldn't talk about it anymore as to not hurt their case.

my former brother in law left his position as a literal rocket scientist - that he excelled at, per their consistent feedback- because he was having to relocate for personal reasons. circumstances changed and he ended up not having to move and applied for his as yet unfilled position. only to get rejected for not having enough experience. to fill HIS position 🙄

What were they going to with natural hair?

Illegal in the UK.

rude, I'd at least tell the candidate to go get one or something...

Ah man I had the same. Client facing told if I wanted the job I had to lose the goatee. Shaved it off that night. Got rejected.

Marine Biologist? Is she going to take the cat scuba diving?

I bet someone from Georgia (the country) will qualify.

Academia is way overrated. By itself.

Blocking in 3... 2... 1... Done!!! Smh...

Well... it kinda seems like one of the better rejection letters I have seen.

It's like speed dating?

For goodness sake, why would a person give such a flippant answer to an interview question?!

We did something similar by specifically asking for CVs in PDF. At least half people ignored it and attached a Word document (and yes, this was an office position where it was perfectly reasonable to expect that candidates know how to handle this).

Blanket email sent out to anyone with any kind of notes on experience in the field. Recruiters don't even read profiles man, they just send out applications to hundreds and then look into the people the reply. At which point they realise they've asked people that don't have what's needed to fill the job role. Ridiculous.

What rejection letter dude? He's rejecting you!

I received similar from my current job but it's because they placed me at another team starting

Thru?

Should've gone with SxcboiFrimston92@hotmail.com

Periods, commas, and paragraphs are useful tools

7 rounds? Nope. 3 at most. If they can't get everyone involved in the same room within three meetings then they are utterly unorganized, and each Dept. Head, or VP runs their own lil'kingdom, and doesn't work well with others. Bullet dodged.

We are the ones who took time from our day, sorted out our suit and had to pay for transport to get there.

I have an opening in mind that will fit your crappy attitude perfectly.

Unfortunately, corporations never responds quickly. The best candidates are lost based on their time-frame of hiring someone.

two years? that’s just stupid. What were those guys doing? Performing a two-year-long cave ritual on an island in Norway?

Yeah, I'm one step closer to a job that will take an infinite amount of steps to arrive at

Maybe he identifies as a ventilation device :)

why tf did they post a picture of a girl with this, is it the gay acquaintance but your a guy so not gay, or just a random girl??

Seems like they are defending their "time management" skills.

Short and to the point. Not the worst on the list.

Just needed to include the lady's SSN and would have been complete

Maybe the bit about the unicycle/cooking was a bit condescending, but i don't really see anything wrong with this one. am i missing something?

Should refer yourself

Hmm.. that's why they are hiring a copywriter?
