In the comments to my post about rejection letters, there has been a conversation (well, Centinel and I are so far the only ones participating) on Rejection Letter Greeting Cards...and, whether or not anyone else thinks it's funny, I do. So, here's what's in the comments so far...leave your own ideas in the comments to this post and I'll update this later tonight with everyone's suggested cards.
Front: We heard you wanted a job with us!
Inside: NO!
**************************************************************
Front: We thank you for your application!
Inside: If you'd been just a little more impressive maybe you'd have at least gotten an interview!
**************************************************************
Front: Congratulations!
Inside: On your continuing job search! (Centinel)
**************************************************************
Front: Thank you for your application to the job we have advertised!
Inside: Unfortunately we only consider qualified candidates!
**************************************************************
This one is inspired by the rejection letter I just got via email:
Front: We had lots of qualified candidates!
Inside: Too bad you weren't one of them!
**************************************************************
C'mon people, join the rejection fun!
UPDATED CARDS:
OK, I just thought of this one:
Front: Thanks for sending us your resume and cover letter!
Inside: But, sadly, we're just not that into you!
Here are the ones from the comments:
Front: Thanks for thinking of [firm name]
Inside: If you ever need a good lawyer, call us. (Jeff)
*******************************************************
Outside: Thank you for your job application!
Inside: Sorry you didn't get the job but happy birthday anyway! (Allan)
*******************************************************
Front: In case you were curious about our response to your resume...
Inside: (completely blank) (Brian)
*******************************************************
Front: We just wanted to let you know...
Inside: don't waste your time applying! (Jeff)
*******************************************************
Front: Your application left us with only one thing to say...
Inside: You suck. (kmsqrd)
If you guys keep putting them in the comments I'll keep adding them to the list...this is fun.
