Blasted Hotel Employer Rejected Me - And Then Advertised Same Vacancy!

SingleSue

They would have fun with me....I have several different usernames and personas!

I once applied for a job (several actually) and didn't get it. I think that's called LIFE!

They dont HAVE to employ you if you are not suitable for the job. And they are allowed to re advertise if they dont find a suitable candidate.

It is a good idea to use differeent handles across the net,

Another trick is to use other peoples generic handles from one board for yours on another.

Linking your real life persona to an on-line one is madness unless you need to.

good advice. i'm not really a dave

What on earth do these employers want? Do you all think it was because I am a man and not some pretty blonde thing with nice legs and painted up dolls face? In other words, do HR depts favour females to males for reception work?

Don't you think is quite despicable the way these employers treat us jobhunters? If there weren't so many people out of work, they could not afford to be so choosy, and so would be glad of your application.

Swines!

I dont think that its a case of not being good enough, you werent what they were looking for. Maybe you hadnt had the relevant experience of cash handling, hotel booking software or something like that.

Stop being livid, you'll end up with an ulcer with all this anger.

Just move on, something will come along and you'll be glad you didnt get it.
Good luck.

Do you have any reception experience? All you've said is you're a man. That doesn't give any indication as to whether you would be any good or not.

The hotel is a business. It's not obliged to give a job to anyone who wants one - it will give a job to a suitably qualified candidate! You obviously didn't meet their criteria. Better luck with the next application.

Perhaps they are not very adventurous and cannot see how your personality would fit the role of receptionist?

Okay so you are a man. But you never said if you have relevant reception experience.

The job is being re-advertised because they hadn't found what they were looking for. Nothing personal ...there were probably 100s applying who got the same rejection letter like you. Try again.

I used to work on a hotel reception and Im certainly not a dolly bird with long legs and painted face!

We did employ men - several of them in fact! Dont take it personally - just move on.

Perhaps they wanted someone who can insult their guests grammatically, and knows that 'swine' is both singular and plural?
