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

He rejected them before they rejected him.

Feel bad for the sucker they did hire.

Everyone one works for the money.

Money is why I apply to any job, or even bother to go to work at all

Companies like this skirt sooooo close to understanding employee motivation and then fall at the last hurdle. Everyone works for money, up to a point. Beyond this point they work because they like the job, enjoy the challenge, agree with the company mission, need to get out of the house, whatever. But you've got to reach that bar of paying what they are worth first. Meet the first motivation point. Very few people are lucky enough to reach the secondary motivation point. These people are the ones who have already been paid their worth in the past, the ones who have a *choice*, and can be very picky about who they apply to work for. But companies like this think it's one size fits all, when in reality, for the vast majority of workers (especially those in countries suffering late-stage capitalism) it doesn't fit at all.

Tell me about the "Everlasting Chocolate Bar" 🍫

i would hire them. then again, I am a chicken nugget with no business experience.

I need to see this sketch of the everlasting chocolate bar

probs satire but still hilarious

I like him.

Went through the same c**p as a teenager. Apply for your first minimum-wage job, only to be rejected for "not having enough experience." How in blazes are you supposed to get any experience if no one will hire you?

Code for: we want someone with experience to do the work, but we're calling it an " internship" so we don't actually have to pay them.

years of experience being an intern means you are dumb

The point of an internship is to get experience. Insane.

Years of experience AND a proper education matching the job - you don't just go to make internships because you want to, but because your education requires you to do so - should disqualify you from even wanting to apply for an internship. I wouldn't either - I'm an engineer, artist as side business (not that far already, just starting because I like to not fall into a depressive episode for being laid off by having something to do and something to earn, also it's fun anyway and doesn't exceed a hobby during employed times - most times, then), and, damned, I can expect that having a diploma and experience in various fields by being a rentable engineer for a few years should at least allow me to not consider hardly-even-paid interneries at all. I did all the required ones during studying, so ... why? what? Not enough experience? The one time an internship was offered to me due to my experience, it was something that I could and did learn at university (engine simulation, flow simulation, generally gas exchange of ICEs including any and every means of boost, variability and the combination thereof - the fruit who hang low, already are harvested since forever now, ...), and because that was exactly what they needed then. I did that, even extended it to write my diploma thesis and continued a few weeks while that was graded and stuff, to gather further experience - and than, September 2015, Diesel scandal happened just when I got my diploma, and every company doing ICE development was, pretty much, grounded, halted, stopped and scared. Never worked in automotive thereafter, but various industrial equipments that, usually, happen outside the general public's scope...

Reminds me of the one where they rejected the creator of a programming language for not having enough experience with said programming language.

Something doesn’t add up. I’m divided on this.

Did you write back and tell him you taught college calculus

If they're that stupid, you don't want to work for them.

Wtf..... I hope they read this post and think about what an idiot they come across as

Companies should provide YOU with the materials required to do the job. Not the other way around.

They need you to have a VCR to watch the training tape

No. But you'll need a fax machine and a telegraph.

And Windows 95?

This kind of makes sense? Business wise at least. My moms therapy clinic still has and uses a fax machine.

Good opportunity to teach the chosen actress how to swear in sign language, no doubt the producers won't care or even notice

I used to work in talent management with deaf clients and casting a hearing person in a deaf role is a big no-no.

Quick reply: Hear me out (yes, pun intended), NAH!!! Smh!!!

I have the perfect 2 word response to that request…

“How to act deaf…” 🤦🏽‍♀️

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.

How does one get rejected from KFC? 🤦🏽‍♀️
