After all, an employer can't really tell how good you'll be at a job unless you're given a chance to do ... a successful candidate may excel at putting themselves across, but when it comes down to doing a job, they may not be quite what they're cracked up to be It’s of crucial importance not to take rejection personally.

You should ask them if their right hand knows what the left one is doing ;)Jess - sounds like we're on the same wavelength. Then there's the job boards problem - companies don't bother pulling listings because they consider it a waste of time and the boards like to boast about how many listings there are, so there's alot of expired stuff out there. And of course, the rest of use get caught in the pinchRonald - I've been to unemployment offices in Canada, France and Israel. There are only 2 places more depressing; a morgue, and the waiting room at a dental surgery clinic :) Vivien – that’s Twilight Zone weird.

I cringe and am glad I am no longer looking for a job.Having worked in retail before, we probably had about fifteen people turn in applications a day. I can guarantee that most of these weren't read.

I tried to apply to Woolworths and their company, and Coles and their company. I always got a like... this position has already been filled (it seems as if my applications haven't even been looked at yet and the position is already filled), and followed by a "It has been x months since you applied..." and toss my application out unless I reapplied. This went on for two years and I never got any chance at a job... sigh. If these rejection letters are to be sent out, I wish they'd at least tell us an honest reason. We found someone before we read your submissions... you lack the ___ skill which we need (in which case you would then know what to work on)... you know? Yeah, that definitely is frustrating.

I was interviewed by this college to teach one or two courses. After the interview they decided that they should offer me to teach one of the courses but not the other one. So I got an email and a phone call from them notifying me that I've been hired to teach this one course. Next day I'm getting a rejection letter from them in the mail, with a general apology that they won't be offering me to teach that other course :-) ha, something similar has happened to me but with a different outcome.
