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.
