I saw an interesting job posting for a role I felt I was qualified for and genuinely excited about applying. I spent about an hour tailoring my resume to highlight my experience to best fit the posting. I also spent a good deal of time writing a sincere cover letter. I filled out the application online and attached my documents. Within 30 minutes I got a reply email back saying "After careful consideration...". I am perfectly fine receiving the email and the message as I understand I may not have been the ideal candidate. However, I feel that the language in the email and timing was very insincere. How can you "carefully consider" a candidate within that amount of time. I promptly canceled the job alerts for VPS as I felt processed and disposed and I chose to put my time and talents with a company that treats people with a bit more dignity.
