My First Job Rejection

So today I got my very first formal job application rejection:

_______________
 
Hi [Xypress],
 
We appreciate that you took the time to apply for a position with our company. We received applications from many people. After reviewing your submitted application materials, we have decided that we will not offer you an interview.
 
We appreciate that you are interested in our company. Please do apply again in November should you see a job posting for which you qualify.
 
Again, thank you for applying. We wish you all the best.
 
Regards,

Job @ [Esteemed Company]

Ouch.

Rejection never feels nice, especially when something you've poured your effort and tears is deemed unqualified. Oh well ._.

C'est la vie~

Onward towards commissions!!

  1. Ah, the rejection letter. Don't get discouraged. It took Thomas Edison thousands of tries to get the light bulb right! I know how you feel though. Been down this road many times myself.

    1. Yeah, hopefully it will sting less in time.
      ...Not that I hope to be rejected many times in the future.

  2. Never been on that, but it really seems to be sad. Sorry for you man. But hey, as Firewolfe said, many people get through this. You are gonna make it so don't worry.

    1. Well it's not THAT bad. It's just my first time that's all.

      I live in a country that hates both my race and religion, so I'm pretty used to rejection actually. It's just that this would be the first official one concerning job applications :]
