email rejection

went as far as u can go without getting hired, i thought my final interview went well

looks like not well enough ... fml

It just means you are almost there. I'd personally see if they are open to communicate on what you could've done more. It sucks that you didn't get it but damn it at least get something out from it and learn. Think of it as another networking opportunity. Don't deny yourself

generic rejection email from HR, nothing to communicate

"While your qualifications are impressive, we have decided to pursue another applicant whose qualifications and experience more closely match our immediate requirements."

Just got hired on at Lowes as a cashier, I'll take it. They pay over a dollar over the minimum wage I've been making barely part time at a retail clothing store job a friend hooked me up with, so I'll take it.

Still pretty sure I'm going to at least take a break from school and look into the Air Force/Navy.

 

[ThisWreckage]

I love getting an e-mail saying that the job was filled a full 8 months after I applied for the position. Seriously, I would have rather received nothing.

 

[Milhouse]

Know the feeling. Graduated with an English degree in writing. Originally hoped to go to law school but changed my mind after an internship. Impossible to find anything. Guess I either need to find out how to apply my BA to something useful, network better and prove my value, or go back to school with a genuine plan. I just don't fucking know anymore.

Makes me wonder why I even went to college. I could have had a job after high school and gained necessary experience. I went to a well respected HS and I'm someone people want working for them. Probably would have survived all of those layoffs.

Where did you get your English BA and how recently? I'm assuming UCLA by your avatar since a lot of LA people like staying there for college, I've heard. It worries me about my plan about getting a liberal arts degree, likely English, in a well-respected school.

There's virtually no jobs available to a person that has an English degree. Print media is dying quickly and states are cutting teaching jobs at an alarming rate. If you aren't planning on going to law school or using it as a spring board for another degree then don't bother. Even if you have a masters or a doctorate in English you're still fucked. Hundreds of people are applying for professor spots or even adjunct positions.

So has anybody here gotten to the point to where they are seriously thinking about robbing people. Like you know easy targets small girls, old people, and the disabled?

No, but there's been an upswing in violent crime here. If things continue to get worse then I can see violent acts skyrocketing.

Underemployed. If I don't find full time work with benefits soon I'm going to go back to school. If you're not in the medical field or the military then you're more than likely fucked. I know people from various majors that can't even find part time work.

I have a degree and can't even find part-time work. It's depressing. Overqualified for half of what I apply for, not experienced enough for the other half.

You *could* go into technical writing. But you have to VERY good at writing extremely formal documentations for specific audiences, be it a "new to the tech" to the "I just read 5 words in one sentence that I have to look up in a dictionary" crowd. You have to be so good at your topic that you TALK the language you type, fluently; your conversations at work would be similar to hearing a high level music theory discussion between two people talking about pitch, 3/4 notes and whatever.

This economy is a goddamn nightmare. I'm going to rant because I'm so pissed:

I work retail. I can't even get a promotion. What was I offered? The same hours I'm working now, a paltry one dollar raise, tenfold responsibility, and zero benefits. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to take that. Frankly, it's insulting. But companies are loving this. They're licking their chops because they can hire an educated, desperate person for slightly above minimum wage and they're stuck. They can't leave because they have loan payments to make and they're now an indentured servant. So brilliant, educated young people are bagging groceries and sweeping floors because our country has gone away from manual labor and no one has any answers. This isn't a temporary problem, this is how things are going to be for the rest of our lives.

Temp agencies suck. Thank you for offering me temporary back breaking work for minimum wage. A job were my coworkers have extensive criminal records and management looks down upon everyone while simultaneously taking advantage of the poor saps that work there. Keel over with a heart attack and we'll consider keeping you on part time.

I'm also running into this a lot:

Manager: I see that you're currently working part time.
Me: Yes, but I'll work any shift and I know my schedule two weeks in advance.
Manager: We can't use you.
Me: Why not?
Manager: We're looking for someone with a completely open schedule and we want someone who isn't currently working. Your priority should be with us.

My county just fired 100 teachers. The newspaper stated that next year is going to be even worse and there would be "major layoffs". Want to know how fucked we are? Firing 100 teachers isn't even considered "major" anymore. Want to go into nursing? There's a waiting list now. Want to go into law enforcement? Classes are booked, you're not guaranteed a job, and officers are being laid off. But the wonderful world of retail will welcome you with open arms. A job where you'll have to kiss every customer's ass that walks through the door. People WILL treat you like total shit because they know they can. After all, where can we possibly go to work? A job were the work can be done by an 11 year old and even if you worked full time you couldn't move out on your own. A job where corporate has no idea what they're talking about because they sit in an air conditioned cubicle, throwing their weight around, and collecting a six figure salary. Maybe I should do what 75% of my fucking town does and find a random girl, knock her up six or seven times, and leech off of our incompetent government by getting food stamps and other aid.

I am in the same situation and in LA as well, just got an English B.A., and its frankly depressing when you send hundreds of resumes and rarely if even get a response, which is oftentimes just a fucking telemarketer who worded their ad in the most devious fashion. Other times its just spam.

I also think this is the end of the road for my school career. I'm not interested in taking massive loans for more useless schooling that might be fun but is completely useless. I am even regretting going to college, Im fucking chained to my loans, and there are no jobs in sight. Im not even applying for things in my field, Im basically looking for anything.

 

[Milhouse]

So I won't even be able to find a retail job with an English degree from a good school? (i'm fine starting almost anywhere that pays). I thought that within a year or two I would find employment as a writing tutor in at least one of the dozens of California Community Colleges I apply to, but this thread is giving me doubt.

I do want a liberal arts education though i'm very aware it's not very employable. I don't plan to have a career in academia. I know I sound delusional, but my ultimate goal is to have a writing career where I don't have a wage and a degree is not required at all.

I am currently a CCC student that will apply to places this Fall, by the way. In my situation, I pretty much have to go to transfer to a university next Fall and take loans. My last resort is a transfer guarantee at UCSD and majoring in Literature/ Writing. I don't even live with either of my parents for personal reasons (I turned 20 a few weeks ago), not that either of them could financially support me. I barely get by with educational grants and not having to pay fees, which I am incredibly grateful to tax payers for. Of course, i'm always applying to retail and food service jobs.

 

[JCX]

Sucks about the LA job market. I guess I'll have to migrate to Chicago like other Big Ten grads. Applying for jobs really sucks.

 

[mozfan12]

I got a BA at UCSD actually, which I dont recommend if you want the college experience. When the student body calls it University of California Socially Dead you know your in for some fun. There was even a student run online business selling Fuck UCSD wear. I had a good experience mainly because of the people, but it has a terrible college life and there is NOTHING to do if you don't have a car.

On the job front, get ready to be rejected from places like target or just generally any entry level jobs. Its more of who you know than applying really, the only real interview that I got was that way, and I bombed it

Yeah, i'm aware, I live in San Diego and i've been on the UCSD campus for one of my art classes. It feels dull and has almost no diversity. It seems that the majority of students there are the stereotypical Asian kids who were pushed by parents to do well in high school (I in no way dislike them FYI). I know that this is the UC system in general but it feels that UCSD is the least diverse (though i've heard Irvine is similar). I will probably be going there, unless I get accepted to Berkeley or UCLA.

Yep, its mainly made of Asian students which is not the problem, it's there are hardly any latino or black students which I found really troublesome. It's not only diversity which is a problem, its that the millionaires with their lavish mansions have so much control over the school. No 24 hour fast food places, there is only one pub, and the only real option is PB or downtown which can be a hassle. La Jolla is a sterile as any city could be, it has no culture, no life. Really hated the place. Not meaning to bring you down, but if you want a social life, you really got to fight for it.

I have more family job connections there. Gotta use every advantage that I have, especially in this economy. I'd really like to like in the LA area, though.

Come to Austin.

I actually thought about it. It would be a big move since I don't really have a support network there.

 

[Morn]

I have a question.

I was laid off a couple of months ago because my boss was losing the contract for the site we were providing services for. For the last three weeks prior to me being terminated, he was telling me that I may be laid off but not to worry because I would be able to get unemployment and he even calculated what I would get with my claim.

The day before he terminated me he called me at my home and spoke to me for a half an hour from the home office of the company ending the contract about possibly losing it.

The next night he shows up with my final paycheck in hand and termination paperwork saying that I am terminated for misconduct and he would deny any unemployment claim I make.

I filed for unemployment, they granted it, and now he's appealing the claim with five written warnings that I was never told about, shown, or ever signed.

My hearing in front of the judge is tomorrow. What do I do? Basically just explain what I did here? He has print outs of the warnings without any signature by me and I was never presented them at all.

He's only doing it because the contract was a large portion of his income and he doesn't want to pay the unemployment to me.

He also still owes me about $400 for paid vacation I took last year that he never paid me for. I'm going to file a wage claim for that.

 

[SolKane]

I'm willing to move away, I just need a job!

It won't be any better in Austin, I promise you.

Edit: Actually I confused you with another poster. Depending on your degree and field, it may be better in Austin. But for someone with just a liberal arts degree it's a nightmare because there's a glut of similarly educated people.

Wow. What an asshole. Just tell the truth. Truth is on your side.

Finally have an interview tomorrow after being laid off back in December. If this fails, time to start looking for more jobs in a broader area.

Wish me luck!

Yea. I have a feeling that disciplinary notices likely always need to be signed to be of any worth in a dispute like this.

Oh, and fuck that guy.

 

[Nix]

Unemployed, and it's probably going to stay that way. There are no jobs in NY. Seriously, even walking into Mcdonalds, they'll reject you because of full employment.

Sometimes, I feel like the world isn't really worth living for. Then I sit down and go on GAF, and all is well again.

Until I realize I'm still unemployed.

Graduated from LMU this past Spring. I have been looking to secure something for at least a year in advance. I've been thinking about selling my Liberal Arts degree rather than English as it applies to a broader spectrum of business. I've also heard about the opportunities in marketing and technical writing as well. Some of those technical writing positions also want a degree in the specific field.

Almost everyone who I know who has a job out of college got it through family. Nepotism run fucking rampant. They'll say it's just better networking, but it's easy to say that when everything is handed to you on a silver plate.

I don't know anymore. I'm still looking around. Job market out in Los Angeles seems to be a real bitch.

These politicians don't get it. The last thing you want is a group of educated grads going into a garbage job market. The idea of work hard, get educated, and it will pay off is turning out to be a lie. These people have loans to pay. These people were promised the world and nothing is coming of it. Look at Spain if you want to see what could happen. The youth is revolting.

As absurd as it sounds, I believe that English majors are similar to EE majors in that both are highly versatile degrees, but suffer from a sort of "application paralysis" because of that same versatility.

Damn dude, I am sorry, I hope it works out for you in the end!

I am currently working at Walmart, but will be going off to college at the University of Toronto in the fall! I am super excited and am thinking about pursuing a degree in environmental geography. I am just kind of scared that my degree is not going to be useful when I graduate... I am sure not if my degree is going to be an arts degree or a science degree yet, I think it depend on which classes I end up taking. I am kind of regretting not taking calculus in high school and doing statistics instead since a few of the classes I am looking into have a prerequisite in calculus. Hopefully I can take a calculus course during my first year in school.

Good luck to all of you guys! I hate to be frank but reading this thread is scary to me as a recent high school graduate, I am kind of nervous that I will be in trouble if I decide to get an arts degree.

The youth of the United States is apathetic and lethargic. If anyone revolts in this country it's going to be people that are middle aged. College grads that are unemployed should be creating movements, marching, protesting, etc. but they have no reason to because their parents won't kick them out.

 

[Yasae]

Indeed. He changed his story from laid off (unemployment yes) to fired for misconduct (unemployment no.) That looks bad at a glance. It's probably one of the reasons why the state was on Morn's side.

Bring in whatever proof and witnesses you can to back up your story. All he has are notes.

 

[Morn]

Well I have the hearing in about 13 hours. Just nervous about it.

When I had my initial interview for my unemployment claim, the interviewer was LAUGHING at his story.

I told them my side (above), and then they said his.

He told them that he was just suspending me and I called him a N-bomb while speeding away and that's when he decided to terminate me.

While laughing they said that they asked him why he would give me a final paycheck if he was just suspending me and he said he thought you had to be paid through a suspension.

Then he made up the shit about the write-ups and gave them all sorts of excuses to buy time so he could fabricate them. He said he didn't have a fax machine, didn't know how to use it, and didn't have access to email (total bullshit, as he has an email address I would use to send him work stuff all the time). They gave him one extension, and I assume he sent them the unsigned write-ups (complete with spelling errors like "WRIITTEN" as they were so quickly typed out) and they granted me my claim.

Of course he appealed with a letter that speakers of normal English struggle to understand. He goes from the third person to the first person and leaves whole words out of sentences. It looks like it was written on GameFAQs.

The ONLY thing I signed, that he may try to fuck me with, was my termination paper that was blank when I signed it. It was signed under duress as he was withholding my final paycheck and he has a history of not paying me or others and I needed the check and didn't know if I would get it if I didn't sign the termination paper. But if I make it clear that it was signed under duress (for the reasons I said) and it was blank, hopefully I'll be OK with the write ups I never saw or signed.

Another thing that may fuck him. In November he laid off another employee from the site (it was just me and this other guy working it). He said at the time that he had to choose between me and him and only let him go because he missed some holes in the fence on his rounds. Now, if I had THREE written warnings prior to that date; why the hell would he let that guy go and keep me on?

If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit.

 

[tbhysgb]

You got this in the bag man.

 

[meadowrag]

I got fired a few weeks ago from my part time job washing dishes.
It wasn't that great of a gig and I was making less than $500 a month, but it still sucks a little to be unemployed again.

I was planning on going back to university, but now have to reconsider my options.

Recently I've hatched a new plan to go to community college nearby, and get certified as a Medical Lab Technician or an LPN. I've previously finished my core classes, so it would take me a year max to get that done.

Afterwards I'm assuming I'd easily be able to find a job in either of those two fields, no matter where I went.

The only sucky thing is that I don't want to do that forever, and sine these are associate's of applied science degrees, the courses won't count for anything when I eventually go back to university.

Worst part is, hes already payed the unemployment for you. Hes just being a douche and not wanting to give it to you

 

[Morn]

Had my hearing. Guy didn't show up, but they called him. Took them four tries for him to pick up the phone, so I was hoping they wouldn't get him at all.

Basically the judge had him cornered like a little kid the whole time, and towards the end he almost hung up on him because he was so pissed off and annoyed at him.

He couldn't produce any evidence of misconduct and really earned the judge's ire when he claimed that I was written up TEN times. The judge couldn't get him to explain why he didn't fire me before and kept me employed for nearly three years if I was written up that many times.

I brought up how he laid off another employee and kept me employed and it didn't make sense that he did based on his claims. The judge seemed to agree and hammered him on that and he just backed away further into his corner and refused over and over to explain himself.

The icing on the cake was at the end, after my testimony about the guy possibly losing the contract. The name of the company didn't come up in the hearing at all, but the judge knew it from the previous unemployment interview record that was evidence. He asked my former boss who I was contracted with and he refused to say, other than his company name. He finally got him to admit the name of the company, and with a smirk he asked him if he had the contract and he said "No."

So the idiot is probably royally fucked.

generic rejection email from HR, nothing to communicate

"While your qualifications are impressive, we have decided to pursue another applicant whose qualifications and experience more closely match our immediate requirements."

Just don't give up even if it looks like a dead end. I replied to a very generic rejection letter as well and I have a job now.

Leave as many doors open, you know?

Oy, bunch of medical positions that I have no experience for or entry level jobs that want about two years of experience to do. Someone shoot me already, not even HS-degree level jobs are getting back to me, but I can't fault those as they require massive amounts of customer communication and I can do that, but it's extremely... trying for me.

I just got rejected for an internship because a person with a master's wanted it instead. At a newspaper. I've never seen so many people fighting tooth and nail for the opportunity to do free work.

generic rejection email from HR, nothing to communicate

"While your qualifications are impressive, we have decided to pursue another applicant whose qualifications and experience more closely match our immediate requirements."

Yup. That's a basic generic rejection email. In fact, I think it's worded exactly like the last rejection email I received. And it had a "no reply" email address too.

Nothing else to do but move on.

got rejected from a company i would have really liked to work at. for the past couple weeks i've been waiting on an answer from them, even while still looking for other jobs (which i haven't found anything to have an interview with) and nothing.

there's another hopeful route that someone i know might help me with but i'm really mad right now.
