The fastest you've had a job application rejected

[Burst]

I don't know exactly what I did that makes me so hilariously unqualified for the position of an -orderly- that my job application was sent back to me with a "we've decided to pursue other applicants at this time" email less than a full day after I sent the application in, but that feels like an absurdly fast turnaround time.

Anybody else ever get rejected in less than a full day?

[Malcolm]

I have. It's a real spirit breaker having to go through all those bull**** assessment questions and spending all that time on that application just to get told "no" that fast. Waste of time...

[Banecat]

I've never got a reply from any job like that. If I don't get interviewed right there on the spot I know I'm not getting the job.

I literally got a reply e-mail MINUTES after applying that said I didn't fit the qualifications.

F*** you Vivid Video.

applied for McDonald's & KFC with Q&A, minutes later "based on answers, unsuccessful blah blah", it's a joke, my answers were fine, did it again, with help from employment advisors (same answers as i put 1st time round too) nope, stupid

Emailed a woman from craiglist, she called me and said "You don't want this job"

At least she was honest

During extras casting days, it often took about 5 seconds.

Them: "Name"
Me: "Ale-"
Them: I SAID HOT MEN! *click*
Me: ...*turns on Linkin Park*

Like my deceased grandfather once said to me right before he died...

If you can't get a job using Crayola.....
Call the ambulance, I think something is wrong with my aorta

Less than two hours....Interviewed for a territory sales representative position for a wine and spirits distributor. As I was driving home, I received an e-mail on my phone...it was the rejection e-mail.

Can I tell you how much those online Q&As suck? There's nothing like spending hours on an application only to be instantly turned down because even though you have a Master's degree, you apparently still don't meet the qualifications to stock shelves at a women's clothing store part-time for $8 an hour.

I hand delivered a resume once, the guy looked over it and told me not to bother. That was humbling.

Not a job exactly, but one of my books got rejected in like 5 minutes.

Sent the submission off, got a reply saying basically "thank you for submitting but this book is not suitable for us".

This right here I got turned down by Target for that reason, I was too qualified. I just need a job I don't care

Filled out an application at a restaurant, the manager came out to talk to me right then. He tore apart everything on my app, especially the fact that I had varied experience (meaning I had lots of jobs, meaning unreliable). Then when he got to my references it turned out that he knew one, the father of a good friend. He proceeded to rip the guy a new one to me, talking about some personal things that he should not be bringing up. I stood up, ripped the application out of his hand and told him I would never work for a piece of excrement like him and he and his whole restaurant could fornicate themselves.

That was Pastime Bar and Grill in Baton Rouge Louisiana, for anyone around who wishes to never go there.

These f***ing dildos....

I applied for a phone customer service job and got a call the same day for a phone screener. Passed that, had a formal phone interview the next day on a Friday. They send me the Q&A and I do it later that day. Less than a day later, on a Saturday, I get a rejection.
