Disappointment again.

Checked my email before I went to bed. Was still hoping for a job. Here’s the message.

Dear Ms. Savitsky:

Thank you for your continued interest in The Container Store. We receive a large number of applications. Each one is reviewed, and some individuals are invited to group interviews, as you were. As a company, we only hire about 7% of all those who apply. Based upon the information you have provided in your application and during the group interview, we do not have a position which is a match for your skills.

I wish you the best of luck in your employment search.

Sincerely,


Store Manager, San Jose


Slag it. Slag it all.

As noted numerous times...this will invariably be a common thing no matter where we go.

Gotta keep shooting for it x_x;;
After all I doubt many people out there happens across one that easily snags them up x_x (wish it were that easy...but then think of how many people would be crammed at a workplace)

Gotta keep at it. Don't let one rejection slow you down; keep applying to places. Lots of places.

Took me 9 months to find my first real job. The next time I had to do a job search in a hurry it only took 45 days, but I got lucky.

You can NOT take this personally

when job-hunting, EVERYONE gets multiple rejections before an offer, ESPECIALLY the first time.

My father once pointed out, you don't know if they agonized between you and someone else (a very close second, and you lost the coin flip) or if it was between you and the CEO's nephew (no contest, not fair but not likely to happen again), or if they actually did get "Superman at minimum wage". Whatever it was, frustration is a total waste of time.

Hey you! I need to get some regular contact info from you like AIM or something similar. I need to talk to you more regularly. Fnar.

Don't give up. You got to keep trying. I've faced -multiple- rejections in the past, but I kept at it until I was finally hired. Just keep trying. It happens to everyone.

Selkit: Contact me.
