Wait, why is that actually kind of brilliant and hilarious? It genuinely feels like this is how it happens sometimes. I'll be more than qualified for a job and never hear back.

It literally explains so much. I hadnever seen anything like it lol

I know it's a joke but this is basically what ATS systems do except with keywords instead of luck. Wrong format? Rejected. Missing one buzzword? Rejected. Applied 3 minutes after the algorithm decided it had enough candidates? Rejected. At least the unhinged boss is honest about it being random 😂

There is a brutal honesty to it that makes it more human than the stupid ATS systems

Hahahaha. I hate it but it’s pretty funny

It definitely generated mixed feelings within me at the time lol

That’s insane!!! 🤣

I can just imagine this. I hope he never finds himself out of work. He'll probably recall this moment when he starts his job search, and nobody calls or emails.
