Hello, Frank? This is Greg, from Consolidated Solutions. Howâs it going? Great. Well, listen, everyone on the team really loved meeting you, but Iâm sorry to say weâre not going to be able to offer you the job. Your qualifications were outstanding, sure, but we were really looking more for somebody who already has this jobâyou know, a person who has worked in this exact position at our specific company for the past five or six years. Donât get me wrongâon paper, you had pretty much everything we were looking for. We wanted an account executive with eight to ten years of experience who specializes in the restaurant industry, and you are indeed an account executive with eight to ten years of experience who specializes in the restaurant industry. The problem is, all eight to ten years of your experience were at a company that is not Consolidated Solutions, which could lead to all sorts of problems if we bring you on here. Your supervisorâs name would be Stacy, for instance, and I happen to know that your current supervisorâs name is Sheila. We just donât have the resources right now to spend 20 minutes training you to say Stacy instead of Sheila. And when you factor in that the bathrooms are almost certainly in a different part of our office than they are in your office, that training process could easily stretch from minutes into⊠well, more minutes, I guess. You made it very far in our interview process, just to be clear. It was down to you and an internal candidate, although we ended up not offering her the job either. We loved that she already worked here and understood our culture and everything, but we didnât love that she already worked here at a different position than the one we were looking to fill. And, sure, sheâs basically been doing the open job since her supervisor left a few months ago, sparking us to list the position in the first place, but getting used to referring to her by her new job title would have taken us, like, an hour at least. Plus, we would have had to give her a raise, which, ick. â Link in bio to full decline (at Consolidated Solutions) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnJTRJ_Oz6U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
