My friend replied to a job rejection email, and surprisingly, they called him for an interview
My friend has been super frustrated with his job search. He left his job at the end of February when his company went through some changes, and it's been a real grind. He was sending out about 15-25 applications a day and had gotten absolutely nothing back for the last six weeks.
So last week, he gets another rejection email, one of those automated-looking ones. The usual, "Thanks for your interest, but we've decided to move forward with other candidates..." He was about to just delete it and move on, but he noticed it wasn't from a 'no-reply' address, but from an actual person on their recruiting team.
So he decided to reply, figuring he had nothing to lose. He kept it brief and professional, something like:
"I appreciate you getting back to me. I'm disappointed it didn't work out this time, but I'm a big admirer of what you do. If any other roles open up that might be a better fit, please keep me in mind."
And this morning, he got a reply from that same recruiter. For real.
"Hi [Friend's Name], thanks for your email. Funny you should say that, because I just had a similar role on another team come across my desk. Would you be open to a quick chat early next week?"
My friend couldn't believe it. He had completely written this company off. And now he has an interview scheduled for Monday morning.
Just wanted to share. It just goes to show that being a decent human being can pay off. Weird.
update : he was kind of anxious for interview thats why before I reccommend for him to install interviewman on his laptop and connect it with the zoom meeting and see the magic of fast answers perfect ones for interviews It is kind of ali baba treasure especially for fresh graduates and those who got blank mind from anxiety his interview is soon wish him luck

The manager took my $150 tip and only gave me $20
I'm still furious about what happened. There was a customer I spent about 3 continuous hours with, and he left me a $150 tip. I was over the moon and thought my week was made.
My manager saw what happened and immediately told me that the company policy is that large tips are collected and divided. I said okay, it seemed a bit strange, but I let it go. At the end of my shift, she pulled me aside and gave me only $20. When I asked her about the rest, she simply said it was 'divided among the whole team'.
The problem is I was the only person working on the floor at the time. The only other people present were the kitchen staff, and they didn't even see the customer. I'm almost certain she pocketed the difference. I tried to look at the tip distribution log for the day, and the numbers made no sense at all.
When I brought up the subject with her again, her attitude completely changed and she told me I should be grateful for what I got. I'm seriously thinking about quitting and leaving. This is definitely not legal, right? I work my butt off for this money only to go home with pennies.
