As opposed to just letting your resume go through the faulty hiring filter? If you've been a jobseeker in the past five years you would know it's better to speak directly to hiring personnel and that job qualifications are highly inflated. You don't need to be a rocket-scientist to fill some of these positions and jobseekers will call you on it.
Apparently the woman did something right. You had "over 100 applicants" and you're fixated on her! I'm sure another manager will admire her "gall" and hire her.
it's really not the same. you are talking about a completely different issue here. all i am saying is there is a difference between being broke and looking for a job and having enough money to live on for a bit (whether it's unemployment or savings) while you look for a job. in the latter situation, you can afford to be choosy. if you're really desperate, you really don't have a choice even if you don't think the job is right for you.

Who cares if he's fixated on her. You should have noticed that there are plenty of things you can do that will cause you negative attention. I'm sure someone else will hire her, once she learns to be less obnoxious.
Obviously his qualifications weren't inflated since he found someone to meet them.

jdm2008 and bobtn, you can be as snarky as you like but sending a follow up to a rejection letter is not obnoxious or negative when the alternative is your resume completely going to the trashbin. Or as they like to call it, "being kept on record for future openings." Ha.
Her followup made him (the actual hiring manager) personally view her resume. That in itself gives a jobseeker a much higher chance of being picked up if they don't have the exact qualifications our wonderful computer screening systems are looking for.

The followup in this case insures your resume will be deep-sixed for any future openings at the company. It isn't going to change the present decision, but it will kill your chances off at any future opportunities.
It shows you cannot accept bad news, and are childish.

Please. You can't afford to be THAT choosy, or you'll be cut off unemployment. If you're "choosy" for too long, the savings dwindle.
