    Guess their application review process is a bit slow. I applied to this position on September 15, 2008! :laugh: -EM

      At least you got a response - I only ever got them if it was "come for an interview". Rejections were just a large dose of silence - very annoying and somewhat rude.

          How thoughtful from their side. Now you can finally stop waiting and start looking elsewhere.

            Maybe they had THAT many people to interview? :laugh: Anyways, I met my wife because of a place taking waaaaaaaaay too long to drug-test me. After about 5 weeks, I got another job elsewhere and met my future wife there. (Of course, ironically, the drug test came back OK the day after I got hired elsewhere, but too late for them.) Also, One time many years ago, a place listed "Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivelant" as their *only* requirement. I sent them my resume. A month later I got a letter saying "We're sorry, but you are not qualified." :confused: I have no problem if they looked over my resume and didn't like it, that's fine. But, either change your requirements or change your rejection message, because I *WAS* qualified enough according to their "requirements." :laugh:

              A friend of mine had a similar response a few years after submitting his resumé. The funny part was that he was already an employee of the company when he got the reply... :doh:

                You should reply immediately, informing them of all you've learned in the past three years, and ask to resubmit your resume. You never know - you might want a new job three years from now.
