you guys are completely ridiculous..so someone insults me and I cant fire back?..and if I do it's why I didn't get a job.Think about your thought logic...did you graduate from college?
What does graduating college have to do with any of this?
You think you are so smart because you graduated college?
Let me tell you, some of the people who post here have more degrees than you had baby teeth.
People here have street smarts, life experience, wisdom, knowledge and understanding that is beyond anything you can fathom at your age and with your lack of life experience.
Be a smarty mouth tart if you want, do what you want it is your choice but don't look down on those who are actually trying to guide you and tell you exactly how the real world is whether you like it or not.
By the way, almost anyone can be book smart and that is worth about as much as the piece of paper that degree is printed on when compared to real world life experience..........
well im assuming I didn't get it , so the purpose would be to tell them how unprofessional and an ass he was. Who cares if he reads it , doesn't read it or if he laughs at it. At least he knows I sent it and for me ,that's all that matters. I obviously wouldn't sent it until after I didn't get it , but I doubt theyll even call
Bad decision making.
I am professional in interviewing, but I would not even consider hiring someone showing this level (lack) of reasoning ability.
One time I was kept waiting in the lobby for 90 minutes and every time I asked the Receptionist about how much longer I would wait, she just got angry and told me to be patient. Finally I told her I had another appointment and left.
I found out the address of the President of the Company and wrote him a nice professional letter and told him that his Manager and Receptionist should have treated me better and I was hoping for some type of reply. A few days later I got a call from the President to discuss my experience and he was very nice and promised me when I came in again I would be treated with respect. So I came in again and talked to the man who had kept me waiting. He was very cold and distant and just put me through the motions and a week later I got a rejection letter.
Wow, that's just rude by the hiring manager. He was obviously called out for his incompetence by his superior, so he took it out on you. It's not the first time I've heard something like this. It's sad how some people struggle accepting personal blame for their actions, and try to find a scapegoat.

another dumb response..I didn't send the email..which would by your logic indicate that I have good decision making skills?
to the person who commented on my college remark , it was more to suggest his lack of reasoning skills , not book smart. He made an assumption that because someone criticized me here and I made a comment back that that was the reason I didn't get the job. Thats poor reasoning skills. Also , Im the smart mouth but you say that someone has more degrees than my baby teeth . That is the stupidest analogy Ive ever head. Please someone with that many degrees comment here.

Also , I want someone to comment who has 10 degrees?...I guess that would be more than my baby teeth...what a great analogy.
Your attitude is what is going to hinder your ability to get and/or keep a job.
Let's not forget YOU are the one who posted the thread asking for advice.
Does it seem practical and logical for a college graduate who knows so much to do that?
Ask random strangers on a public forum what you should do?
Did you use your expert reasoning skills and real life experience when you decided to start the thread?
Did you find somewhere in one of your books that posting an issue like this on a public forum is a good idea?
Didn't you make the "assumption" that you would read answers that you would like?
Didn't you make the "assumption" that you would not read answers that you didn't like?
I agree I shouldn't have made the thread. I just wanted to see if others have written emails like I wanted to before. BTW , another poor reasoning response. The way someone acts on a forum is no indication of how they act in real life. I'm sure if someone came up to you and called you a name or was disrespectful , would you respond like I did or walk away?And no , I dont mean fighting physically , but you would almost certainly respond verbally , correct?
Alright, without getting into too many of the details: No, don't send an email. The world is VERY small. The @ss inverviewing person probably has many friends in similar positions in other companies. (TRUST ME ON THIS. A good friend of my manager at my company ended up being my wife's manager at another company. What are the odds, right? Bigger than you think!)
You gain nothing by doing it, except personal satisfaction. If that's what you want, write out a letter and put it in an envelope, leave it on your desk, but don't send it. It will give you the same feeling.
Even if, as you say, this job is not in your preferred industry -- one thing I have learned in the nine years since I graduated college (and ouch, that went fast!) is that you literally never know when you're going to encounter someone again, and what position you'll be in.
Without sending an email, your interviewers will likely not remember you six months from now -- with that email, chances are good they'll remember your name even if not your face...and you don't want that unless it's in a positive way. What happens if one of them switches to a job in your preferred industry and you interview with them 1.5 years from now? Once they see your name, they'll wonder...and seeing you will likely jog the memory.
I know it sounds far-fetched, but it absolutely does happen, and more often than you'd think. The professional working world is a small one in most places.

Popping off in this forum whenever you disagree with someone is actually indicative of your personality. It's not necessarily indicative that you're unprofessional, but it does indicate you are combative.
You may think you don't show you have a combative attitude outside of this audience, but I'm suggesting you very well may. As long as you know that and are willing to live with the consequences, well, it's your life to live as you choose.
Rip on me if it makes you feel better, but I didn't come here looking for advice and then start attacking those who provided it. Sometimes good advice doesn't come packaged in the neat way you'd like it to be. My initial comment was serious: your messages here indicate an attitude.

I agree; I thought only us Baby Boomers were this spoiled and entitled!
Now I'm curious to hear the other side's story. Perhaps from their perspective he was a "bad fit".
