What was the wording of the email? It's difficult to be able to say with the brief description you've given. :redface:

So, in layman's terms:

We didn't give you the job you applied for.

We still think you're a good candidate, who would do well working at Harrods.

If there's a similar job that comes up that you're good for, we might offer it to you.

Come August, you're off our list.


I think that you can take this as something positive. :wink:
