Automated Email after and Interview and Shadow?

That really sucks! Sorry that it doesn't look like you got the job. I would call anyway, like you are planning on doing. I would also ask them how I might be able to strengthen my qualifications, to see why you weren't chosen. I've never gotten an automated message after an interview, but I have had them not call me at all. Good luck with job hunting, I'm a new grad still looking for work. =/

This really isn't a "cut" it is just often the corporate way. If I got such notice, it wouln't bother me. I'd think a call would be more stressful full of a lot of silly talk and all.

It is quite hard on the self-esteem, the rejection emails. I got one once that simply said "not suitable". Ouch. I am sorry this happened to you. It's the easy way out for the employer, plain and simple.

I get lots of those emails, once right after the HR interview. The email was waiting before I had gotten home from the interview. I'd still call though, show that you are serious about a job.

People are different. I think she should call,if for nothing else, then at least closure to be exactly sure, the mail was intended for her. Not even that totally but just to call. It makes it easier to bear.

OP:heartbeat

I did once. I wouldn't let it color my opinion of the manager, unit or whatever if the email was from HR or a recruiter.

I apply for every open job at the "parent" facilty of our small critical access hospital. Before my application and resume has time to even be reviewed I've received an email telling me I'm not in the qualified group chosen to be interviewed. I have TNCC, ACLS, PALS, AND NRP and I'm not qualified for skilled, ortho, or med surg? What they are really telling me is they have reviewed my year of graduation from nursing school and are practicing "silent" age discrimination.

That or they don't want to try to replace you at your current job. By parent you mean part of the same system, right?

Exactly ...part of the same system. But, though we are part of the same system our pay is substantially lower, our staffing is much lower and we are frequently so low on patients that we are given low census. While employers can't ask the year you graduated high school because that could be construed age dsicrimination, there's no such distinction on graduation from college/nursing school. This is just my opinion.

Yup. I once received one of those via cell phone while I was still in the facility's parking lot after what had seemed like a very positive and productive interview.

Your bribe offer was lower than the other candidate's.
