I remember when i was a fresh graduate, I applied to several companies as well, I left my resumes with their HR but I almost never got a call. I won't consider them rejection because I never know if my resume got to the right person in the first place... haha So Here goes: I applied in 1 IT Service Company and got a letter of regret so that's 1 rejection. I applied in 1 BPO company when I was already working for one, and I was not accepted too.. hmmm :{ The more recent one: A rejection from an international Bank over the phone I called them up but they never informed me if I passed or not... =( oh well Always another better waiting for us somewhere... hehe goodluck to us who are looking for better career paths!

well i had online applications which never worked for me. i guess because my cover letters were generically made. it was one major mistake. then there's one BPO which i applied to as a CSR,i even got to the final interview and was made to wait for further instructions. and i was only left waiting. i never made a follow up because its an obvious sign that i didnt get it. but the question then was what could have been the problem??? i mean i finished the interview really late and i was told i have high chances as my exams were really good, then nada! i got no call. that was my first rejection and it really made me frustrated. i didnt apply to any bpo until after 3 years.and then the latest was almost a year now. there was this one multinational very known company i wanted to work for. then luckily i passed all the interviews and exams. i was told to wait for a call for the schedule of my contract signing. and just like the other experience, i was left with no advise regarding my application. i called a few times for a follow up. i dont exactly know what happened along the process.

I have applied at various places. I now work for myself but having more money would help out with my business. I think there are a lot more people looking for work than is reported. They can usually sift through who they want and I sometimes will get a rejection letter but every once in a while I get a job interview. The Job market is real tough right now.

I would have to say that I have probably been rejected by atleast four places. Two places most recently. It's a bummer to go to a interview and not get the job but atleast you were considered so you know you're not exactly a fault employee. I am still looking hard for a job as I desperately need one. Of course it's so stressful as well.

I was lucky enough to be employed the first time I applied for a job as soon I graduated from college. I was an average student and I guess, jobs were plenty during that time and competition was not so stiff. But that was some 25 years ago, it was my first and last job, now I am fully retired from office work since all my children have graduated from college, I only work at home with some online opportunities.

Several accepted and several rejections and now I am getting fed up of working environment- the office style for sure..The people and environment makes me feel sick and I am planning to quit and run my own projects. I do not want to work under someone else.Hate to listen to their orders and I do not feel good so I am going to lit my life on my own way.
