OK, so I accepted a contract position with an amazing company in Research Triangle Park near Raleigh, NC and turned down a position with the Somewhere University of North Carolina because it was two jobs at an entry-level salary.
This is the second rejection-email I get AFTER I politely told them no,
"The Somewhere University of North Carolina would like to thank you for your application that was submitted for the specific position listed above. We appreciated the opportunity to review your application and were pleased that you were interested in employment with The Somewhere University of North Carolina. The hiring department, however, has selected another candidate whose background more closely matches the requirements of the position.
We welcome the opportunity to consider your application for future employment opportunities that match your education, skills and experience. New positions are posted daily and we encourage you to visit our website at https://sunc.edu. You may also view openings at our job listing board just outside of the Office of Human Resources at 104 Tabacky Lane in Somewhere. Again, thank you for your interest in the University."
Now, a few things come to mind about these letters.
1) The HR people are trying to hide that they're incompetent and are losing candidates because the salary for doing two people's jobs is ridiculously low.
2) They have to fill out a form saying a rejection letter was sent.
3) They live in a fantasy world in which no candidate ever turns them down.
4) A combination of all of the preceding.
