I now have a J. O. B. yes, it’s true, i am among the working stiffs. and although this job is merely a cafe job, it’s a paycheck and i am better off than most due entirely to friends and family.
however, today i received one of those ‘you are not a good fit for this company’ type emails.
here it is:
Hi Joel,
Thank you for your application for the Portland site coordinator position. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer you an interview at this time as you are not a good fit for the current needs of Sports4Kids at this time. We encourage you to continue to gain experience working with groups of youth and reapply in the future. Good luck.
Sincerely,
The Team at Sports4Kids
And so i decided to respond in kind (i’ve wanted to do this for oh so long and i applied here like two months ago):
Hi Jonathan,
and while I thank you for your timely reply, I can honestly state that you can’t possibly ascertain my qualifications from an online application and some ostensibly appropriate questions regarding how one might deal with youth. However, if you were to interview me, or even better yet, speak with the past leaders I’ve lead or the dozens of youth who I now consider my friends, you’d most likely think otherwise. But discerning from the fact that this post is still up, your hiring practices have yet to properly evaluate potential candidates.
Best,Joel Brady
Yes, it felt great!
