Today, I got an e-mail regarding an IT support job I applied to. The e-mail had numerous formatting errors due to bad code, and typos all over the place. It said I wasn't qualified for the job. FML

Fix the errors, send it back. Maybe they'll reconsider!

Hold on, let me go buy Rosetta Stone for that.

Reply emails (if you even get one) are one of the biggest slaps in the face of jobsearching. I'd spend a good hour or two tweaking my CV and writing a cover letter, then get a reply back starting "Hi" - no punctuation - and a link to an expired application process.

You're obviously better off looking for a job elsewhere..........who wants to work with morons like that?

post it on every social media format

It could always be a test... Show the initiative and show them how to fix it

in a lot of industries, you fail upwards. save yourself the hassle of working there.

i would correct the errors and the typos and send them back to them..

If you fix the errors, don't just send it back to them, walk it up to their management yourself. If you send it back the guy that turned you down will just steal your work or throw it out.

Count it as a blessing! You probably wouldn't have been happy there anyway!

at least they tell you straight up you arent qualified instead of replacing you 1 month after you start to get good at your job
