The Price of Arrogance

Dearest candidate,

Thank you for the opportunity to interview you this morning for the Director position with my client. I appreciate your having explained to me the number of senior level executives with whom you golf on a regular basis and who are so fond of you. In addition, I apologize for not knowing who you were in advance and remain grateful for your sharing with me how much money you made five years ago.

The hiring manager has requested to only review candidates who have recently met or exceeded their quota, so unfortunately I cannot pursue your skill set further at this time for this position. I will be sure to retain your resume should something closer to your profile come across my desk.

Very truly yours,


Suzanne King

Thanks, Sandra.

Now just so my lawyer doesn't get all hinky on me...my "letters" a mere figment of my imagination of what I would like to sometimes write but can't actually do so due to potential legal exposure.

Whew, glad to get that out of the way! Enjoy!
