Yo Candidate,

Thank you for following up with us after we gave you a totally inaccurate decision timeline. By “week” we meant “month”.

We appreciate you traveling to our neck of the woods to meet with the marketing team in person, but at this point you are no longer a contender for the Assistant Marketing Manager position. We have selected a candidate who has shit tons more experience than you. Tough break kid.

Once again, thanks but no thanks. Based on your experience and skills, we are sure that you will have no problem finding an exciting opportunity cashiering at Walmart or serving up fries at McDonald’s.

Good luck sucker,
Recruiter
