We Regret to Inform You

Recently, after getting rejected from yet another job, I thought it would be funny to write a poem using quotes from all of my rejection emails over the past three months. Too many of them were either identical or very very close to being identical, so it's relatively short. None of the words from the poem are mine, they are all taken directly from different emails notifying me that I did not get the job.

We appreciate your time,

consideration,

and interest in our organization

and would like to thank you for giving us

the opportunity to learn about your

skills and

accomplishments.

However,

after careful review of your resume,

and while we were

impressed

with your

background and

experience…

We have decided to move forward with,

pursue other

candidates

We have concluded that another

candidate’s qualifications

more closely match our

requirements for the

position

We will keep your

resume

on file

for future employment

opportunities

and will not hesitate to

reach out to you.

You have our

best wishes for

success in locating the

career opportunity you

deserve.
