I promised this a few posts ago and forgot about it. Oops.
This is my favorite idea for a response to a rejection letter. To those who are or have been in a position were you could wallpaper your house with all of the rejection letters you've received, you will laugh.
This is from another unknown source. Enjoy. (Disclaimer: I don't actually endorse sending this to any possible employer that has rejected anyone. But if someone does send it, please let me know what happened if anything. I'd be very curious to find out).
If all else fails and you receive a rejection letter, consider this reply:
Dear (name):
Thank you for your letter of (date). After careful consideration I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me employment with your school (company). This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field of candidates it is impossible for me to accept all refusals.
Despite (college's/company's) outstanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. Therefore, I will initiate employment with your school (company) immediately following graduation. I look forward to seeing you then.
Best of luck in rejecting future candidates.
Sincerely,
(your name here)

More input
Continuing with other peoples opinions. Here's one more:
Let see...LIFE after college is HARD! I didn't think it would be so difficult
to find a job to use my degree with. It's just really frustrating...and I
feel like I'm stuck in a dead end job. Its awful. I am thankful I have a job...
just want one I can use my degree with. Hope this helps and hope there are others
that feel that same as I do.

I feel like this too. I'm thankful to have a job but what I really want is a career. I would pretty much take anything at this point.
One more rejection letter was added to my pile today.
I've lost track of the number of jobs that I've applied to, but so far the count is somewhere around 40 or more maybe closer to 50. I have 9 I'm waiting to hear from and at least 2 more that I need to apply to before the week is up.
I'm really hoping that something will come up soon so I can start making plans to move on with the rest of my life instead of being stuck where I am right now.
