Over the years, I have received many a rejection letter from companies I had hoped to work for. I used to be an intelligent IT hopeful with dreams and ambitions, I could change things and make this world a happier place one bit at a time. Many petabytes have passed, I now grind through each day, head hung low, shoulders slumped, a dejected shadow of my former self. Why am I being held back from joining an organisation where I can be of some use (or maybe an asset or even a marxist type commodity depending on how many buzz word spewing marketing types worked there long enough to become a boss)? An organisation where I can rise through the ranks until I am totalitarian leader of the whole planet. Who dares foil my plans? Human Resources that’s who. A simple “I would like a career change” is not good enough for them. They become confused at the fact you are applying for something that doesn’t directly match any of you previous roles, and fail to see that skills you have picked up can indeed be applied to different jobs and situations. What set me off today wan’t so much that I received yet another rejection letter, it was that I was rejected for a job that I didn’t even apply for to begin with. What the *&$! is wrong with you people? At least let me apply for the job before you reject me…
