I had a weird experience with LinkedIn today. My 1st time using it to apply for jobs. I don’t know if I’m just overthinking it. Let me know what you think.

I applied for a few jobs on LinkedIn. 2 of them on 3/26. Today 3/29 I received 2 emails from 2 different cies, 2 different hiring persons with the same message. The emails are 2 minutes apart. What are the odds of 2 different persons from 2 different cies reviewing applications on a Sunday evening at exactly the same time???

A lot of companies use recruiters in other countries and it is normal for them to work Sundays.

I agree with PwC 1, those are probably automated messages that send. I have definitely gotten messages like that in the past. Hang in there and keep applying.

I do not think you are overthinking it. Quick rejections happen, especially with high volumes. It does not always reflect your quality, just how competitive things are right now.

Now i think about it, I probably applied for these 2 jobs 2 minutes apart as well On 2/26.

Probably form letters from same software

LinkedIn allows companies to create settings to automatically reject candidates that do not meet minimum parameters, such as years of experience. They can also set it to go out three days later, so candidates don't get immediately rejected, You likely did not meet the minimum for the screening questions and the system automatically rejected you.

Your rejection emails are literally what you will receive from most employers. They use standard rejection templates for emails/auto rejections, so all candidates receive the same information.

You have overthought this, when you receive more rejections you will notice that the wording is literally the same!
