The Job I Didn't Get: Part 1 (The Rejection Email)
Ok, I'm finally ready to address the fact that I didn't get the job. I'm not crying over spilled milk, though. That's not a personality flaw I posess. But, I thought I'd share the rejection email I received because it's a rejection email unlike any other I have received or heard of. Read it and tell me what you think. In Part 2 of this topic I'll tell you what took away from it and how I feel about it and also address your opinions...Thanks!

Hi Dynasty, I hope this email finds you well.
Thank you for your time last week in Miami. I am glad the schedule worked out so that we could interview. I enjoyed learning about (insert my company name) and your other work experiences. I learned a bit about an industry I previously had no idea about! You have obviously accomplished great things there.
After VERY careful consideration, we decided to make this job offer to another candidate. This candidate has extensive training experience and contacts with the wireless carrier stores in the South Florida area and this is very important to (insert client I would have been representing) for this position.
I also know that you were hoping for a relocation package, and unfortunately we would not have been able to offer you this. I want you to know you interviewed very well. You are extremely professional and articulate and you were carefully considered for this position. I know you would have made a great Specialist for us.
Thanks again Dynasty and please let me know you got this message. I wish you the best of luck in your job search and relocation to Miami. I have no doubt you will find a perfect situation to meet your career goals! If you want, please drop me a line and let me know where you land.
Regards,
(Insert the name of the person I interviewed with)

Dynasty you are so cute! Are you sure you want to live here? Check out my blog before you move and you may think twice. This place is crazy.
it understand if it wasn't taken well, but it wa a very upfront & honest response in my view
I'm with Pops on this one...
Having been in the position to hand out rejections before I will say that the only problem I have with this is the fact that it was done via email...that is not professional and I hate when people hide behind the computer, when doing their dirty work.
What would have been more appropriate was to call you personally and then follow the conversation up with a written letter (similar to the email), mailed to the candidate.
Other than that I don't think it is a big deal...your blessing is right around the corner. Believe it and you will soon receive it!
Fuck Miami and the beautiful silicone injected horse it rode in on.

NEver received one cuz I always knew I didnt get the job when I didnt get SHIT..so this is how they do it now..I thought it was nice...no how can a rejection letter be nice.....It was nice for them to contact u back to let u know. Take things in stride...THe right job will come along.
I think you were a prime canidate, but your current location was a major factor in their decision.
