Job Seeker: I am just calling to inquire about my application status for job number JC24 that I applied for two weeks ago. Employer: Oh yes! We are still reviewing all the applications, but your application is in the final stages of review with three others for this position. We will be notifying everyone this week with our final choice. *hangs up* *looks at the person they hired for that position last week and laughs*

And the letter reads:

Dear Joseph,

Thank you for your interest in Aquent and for taking the time to fill out our online application.

We have held onto your application for the past six months, but unfortunately, we do not currently have many openings for individuals with your skill set.

Openings we do have are being filled by talent we currently work with. It's part of our commitment to our talent that we do our best to keep them as busy as they want to be.

Because of this, we cannot currently represent you. However, we are archiving your application. If a job opens up that we cannot fill from within our current talent pool, we look next at archived individuals. If it looks like you match what the client is looking for, we will certainly contact you.

Please feel free to reapply in a few months, as needs do change regularly.

Best of luck with your job search!

Debbie Clary | Charlotte Area Manager
