rejection letter #553

Another letter of rejection to add to my ever increasing list. This one came courtesy of Penn State University.

"We are writing about your application for the above position (Admissions Counselor) vacancy. Those involved in the selection process have concluded they will be selecting another candidate for the position."

An admissions counselor?! You entice high school seniors to attend your college over other colleges...I get it! I could do this...yet those involved selected someone else. The joys of job hunting! On another note, I did wrangle an interview for tonight and one for next week. Tonight's exciting opportunity? Admissions counselor (yes, the irony is not lost on me...of course, according to Penn State, I'm clearly not qualified). Though I suspect that this 'admissions' position, which is for a culinary institute, will probably be mainly telemarketing. And if proven correct, I will not be accepting the job. While getting desperate (I've actually been entertaining a return to the retail/waiting table field of work) I feel that unemployment is preferable to having people hang up on you all day long. Next week? An employment specialist. Basically the same type of position that I was hired for and then never called to start work. Probably not a good omen either, if I believed in such things.
