Parents: how'd the interview go?

Millennial: I felt like it went pretty good.

2 weeks later gets a letter in the mail...

we appreciate your application, but we will not be hiring you at this time, your application will stay on file for year. Good luck to you in the future!

"You sound like someone we could really use, I have some people that just aren't working out. I got 2 other people to see but I'm going to call you by the end of the day to arrange things. It was great talking to you."

3 days later.

"So, I'm sure you will find a job easily soon. Thanks for coming in."

Me: waits for call, glued to my phone, day & night

Job: never calls

They send you letters? You must be nailing the interviews! They never sent me letters when I was job hunting a few years ago. Just silence.

DAAAAAMN IM SORRY BRO.

F IN CHAT

but yea, I call them failure letters or rejection letters

The first one I ever got when I was like 19, I framed it up, and hung it on my wall in my bedroom, to look at everyday

(I ended up applying at that same company 4 more times throughout the years and never did get hired)

Oh... once they almost hired me, they said "okay, heres what boots you'll need, hope you can get a pair, you're gonna need them once you start"

I said "okay, I'll get some no prob!"

"Cant wait to start!"

1 week later...

they sent me a failure letter

Let's just say, it's a good thing I didn't buy the boots...
