Rejection for jobs

I don't have a profile on my cv because imo thats what the covering letter is for.

A Personal Profile is supposed to sum up who you are and where you are looking to go in the future.
A Cover Letter is supposed to explain your reasons for applying, if responding to an advert then the job applied for (and where you saw the advert) and why you think you'd be right for the job.

I got a rejection from one of the two jobs I applied too. However, the job agency will keep my CV for other positions, and will contact me if other jobs will accept me. Currently, I am waiting for my second job that I applied to, to reply to me. I hope the second job that I applied to accept me.

Anybody else got rejection from jobs (e.g. jobs after university, summer job, gap year job, etc...)?

Got another rejection yesterday, 2 interviews, 2 rejections Hoping for another interview next week at some company about 10 mins ago. I'm well disappointed, just been offered an interview on the phone for this amazing IT apprenticeship, I got on holiday on the interview/assessment day, I'm so disappointed, I well wanted to be considered for the job.

I've had three rejections so far and no job offers. It's really depressing, especially as both my previous jobs I got straight after the interviews. I'm finding it really hard to find a job, I think because it's the wrong time of year. I've just applied to another and am about to send of yet another application form for another. Getting sick of filling in application forms!!

I really don't mind job rejections, a lot of rejections are not because you can't do the job but another candidate might be judged to fit in with the team better. As a result you probably wouldn't have wanted job anyway.

Yeah, it's hard to find a job and in the wrong time of the year. It's the only time that students can work, as students will go back to school in September and can't work weekdays anymore. In my case, I am taking a gap year, so I guess I could apply after the summer. Tommorow I'm going out to see if they have vaccancies over the summer. If there are, that would be good. If not, I hope they would accept me after the summer or something like that.

Did you call them to see why you got rejected? For me, I didn't call them yet. I would do that maybe tommorow.

The first one was over-subscribed and there were people with better qualifications than me. The second one I apparently didn't seem keen enough on, which is ridiculous- I couldn't have been more enthusiastic without looking like a complete fraud! That really annoyed me, because I'd thought that the interview had gone really well. The other one I didn't even get an interview.

I'm having a gap year too, so I guess it's not so urgent. I'm going to Italy at the weekend though and it would have been nice to have earnt some money for souvenirs and stuff. I'm registered with three job agencies and still nothing. When you register they give you the impression that they can find you work to start the next day, but only one has come back to me, with only one job! Unbelievable!

I think the first one I applied for (got a rejection for it) has around 50 applicants applied for that job (found that on the job agency website. By the way, I applied through a job agency website)! They kept my CV for further reference, so incase there is a job that I applied that is similar to the one I preivously applied for, they would contact me about it.

I really want to start before August if they employ me, so I could get a head start on earning money instead of starting from September.

Never wait for an agency to get back to you. If you want work you have to phone them every morning as soon as they get into the office. That way you cantch them as they're going through the days requests for staff.

Waiting for them to call you results in not a lot.

Thank you. I haven't applied to any more IT apprenticeships. If you assume you got rejected, you should phone the company and ask whether they've considered you for the job or not. Last week I got a phonecall from a training place(which sorts out application process for companies doing apprenticeships) for a job I applied for about 2/3 months ago, start date september, and they've only just started looking at applications, I was really suprised to hear from them, I assumed I got rejected, I'm hoping to hear from the company this week whether I've got an interview or not. Good luck with your job hunting!
