«Breaking News» Woman reveals her hilarious job rejection – inspiring others to share their own stories

A university lecturer has shared her hilarious but humiliating job rejection story, inspiring thousands of others to do the same.

In an amusing Twitter thread, Dr Charlotte Lydia Riley, a history lecturer at the University of  Southampton, penned: 'Ah, the five year anniversary of the time a university rejected me from a job with an email addressed to another applicant.

'And when I pointed this out, they replied with "I'm sorry, I clearly typed the wrong name. However, the substance of the message, I'm afraid, does apply to you."'

Her post has since been liked over 8,000 times, and others quickly reached out in a bid to made her feel better by sharing their own setback stories.  

History lecturer Dr Charlotte Lydia Riley posted her hilarious job application story on social media. She highlighted that it still makes her laugh five years later

Despite facing a kick in the teeth, Charlotte has retained a sense of humour over the unfortunate mishap.

Sharing her thought on the gut-wrenching response she received over five years ago, she wrote: '"However, the substance of the message, I'm afraid, does apply to you" still makes me laugh out loud every time I read it. I want to add it to every email I write.'

The amusing memory was met with an uproar of support as several sympathetic social media users took to Twitter to share their own cringeworthy stories. 

'After requesting feedback from an unsuccessful interview around a month after the interview itself, the response from the head of the panel said: "I am writing to provide you with feedback, not because you asked, but because I was going to do it anyway,' recalled one. 

When the history lecturer shared her toe curling story of rejection she was met with an uproar of support, as others shared their own hilarious stories too 

Another shared the moment he found out he hadn't been shortlisted for a job - and as if that wasn't bad enough, the position was in the same department he already worked in.

'I found out I wasn't shortlisted for a job in a department I already worked in,' he said. 'The director emailed the whole department to explain they were going to re-advertise because they hadn't received any applications from "suitably qualified applicant".' 

But a third took perhaps the biggest knock of all as she explained: 'I once got rejected from a job maintaining a Knowledgebase, which could be fair enough if I hadn’t written the whole thing!’ 

The rejection stories ranged from the ridiculous to the wacky, misspelling 'professor' and being turned down twice in one email 

Another, who can't be faulted for trying, commented: 'I applied for two jobs at an organisation 1) entry level and 2) right above: got rejected from both in the same email for being 1) overqualified and 2) not having enough experience.' 

Meanwhile, several others received rejection emails from potential employers which contained 'technical difficulties.'  

'Best one I remember is a rejection sent to all the non-shortlisted applicants, all listed in cc, with the subject line "Congratulations to <successful applicant>"' wrote one, while another said:  

'I once got a rejection email where the subject line said "Rejection email template"'. 

Some employers apparently suffered from technical difficulties, with several sharing stories of template mishaps

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
