My favorite rejection letters are of the "We received an overwhelming volume of well-qualified applicants" sort. Especially when it's for a position that's so niche that you know there's a good chance that you personally know most of the other people who would actually meet the stated requirements.

- anticorporate 3y agoFair enough. Last time I received one of these, though, it was from an organization where there are about five peers globally with a similar program, and I ran the program at one of those peers. That said, I'm sure they honestly did get an overwhelming volume of applications.
