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.

You can NOT take this personally

[capplor.livejournal.com]

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.
