World Wide Technology Greetings, I'm a 32 year IT veteran, with over ten years leading IT enterprise architectures for the Air Force. I just applied for a WWT position "Enterprise Architect - Federal Services (TS/SCI)" and was shocked to get a rejection response just 14 minutes after submitting my application. Note I have a TS/SCI clearance and excellent record of AF service. I rechecked the requirements and found nothing that should have screened me out. Can anyone provide insight on what happened?

Thanks to all who responded. I contacted WWT directly and did find out the position was filled, so I would guess it didn't get pulled down from job posting sites in a timely manner. The good news is a recuiter from the company offered to work with me on finding other positions.

Either an irresponsible recruiter or a stupid AI tool. That said, this job market is horribly competitive with all the tech layoffs. I hope you find something that works for you soon.

I may not have any advice, but just wanted to say the job market is really tough right now—so try not to be too hard on yourself. You're not alone in this.

More than likely no one even opened your resume. I'm pretty positive the company advertisingthe opening has the option to keep up the ad but not excepting applications at the moment. Like an answering machine, you could be sitting by the phone but if your not taking calls.... And it looks better for the job board owner. More job post, more click, more possible subs etc. Even if the answering machine is on...

Since you received a response that fast, I am guessing the Automated Tracking System (ATS) kicked it out, without a hiring manager even seeing it. Check the keywords used in the job description against your resume. Unfortunately, it's a game these days.
