General Discussion

UNUM, a local company, had four jobs posted. I was well qualified for the senior position and got rejected almost instantly. Then I lowered my salary expectation on indeed to match a mid-level position and again I got immediately rejected. I happened to be listening to NPR shortly after this happened, and they had the Portland ME Chamber of Commerce on interview; they were talking about how Maine has one of the largest aging populations, and how they can’t find enough qualified people to fill existing job openings etc..
I sent an email to them with my rejection letter from UNUM and copied their HR department. Of course, I received a CYA letter from UNUM almost immediately explaining all the buzzwords my application was missing, except, they were all there on my resume. I pointed this out and never heard back from them.
