If I get hammered every time I get a job rejection
by the time my contract is up I will probably have liver disease, at this rate.

I hope you've not had more bad news.

Not at work for four days
opened my inbox this morning to find three job rejections lurking in it like syphilitic toads in a mud puddle.

I hope you're able to get feedback from those recruiting for the roles.

One I thought I was a dead cert to get an interview at least
I've contacted them, because I'm genuinely upset about that one. The other two, I'm less surprised by. I've had my colleagues check over my applications and I know there's nothing wrong with them, it's simply that so many people are chasing each job.

they only advertised my job for a week
it's pretty specific and yet they still got 22 applicants

For the job I actually got an interview for
there were 90 applicants. For a single fairly specific, fairly poorly paid job. 4 of whom were internal candidates, so basically there were probably 80 people who never had a hope in hell.
