Teen Turned Down For Retail Job ‘Rejects Rejection’ With Hilarious Letter

However, one teenager decided that rejecting her simply wasn't an option, and so rejected the rejection.

Jessica Irving lives in Sydney, Australia, and was growing tired of the rejection letters she was receiving, and so decided to take a more dogmatic approach to job hunting than most of us.

It can be a difficult and arduous process for young people to find first time employment when studying or simply to get on the business ladder, and so remaining positive in the face of disheartening responses to applications is crucial. Well, Ms Irving took this one step further.

For most people, the receipt of this sort of email would be met with a quiet curse-word and perhaps a quick trip to the pub; however, for Ms Irving, this was not the end!

The email that Ms Irving sent outlined how her skills were perfect for the position, and emphasized how ridiculous it was for them to turn her down.

There have often been times where I have thought about replying to these sorts of emails, but I'm far too lazy to get locked into a lengthy exchange of emails which would likely end in the same end result.

Ms Irving's response was far from over though, with her saving the bombshell for the very end of her response.

"I would like to confidently reject your rejection," she wrote, "Thank you for letting me be part of your team, I won't let you down."

Therefore, imagine her surprise when the supermarket chain actually got back in touch with her via email.

Aldi's response to her rejection of their rejection of her initial application (this is turning progressively into a Dr. Seuss extract but bear with me) was to offer her a place in a group interview.

Um, can I please get this kind of response when I get job rejections???

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Ms Irving explained that, "When applying for the job I thought I'd be a really strong candidate. I even waited almost a year to apply due to their 18-plus rule."

Ms Irving went on to say, "It's one of my local stores so being rejected was kind of a huge bummer and I didn't want to apply for a store so far away so I thought I'd give it a go and it worked, surprisingly."

It is safe to assume that, following Ms Irving's success story, that the supermarket chain will be inundated with emails of this nature from now on!

The dogmatic teen thinks that another manager must have been taken aback by her response and been impressed by her initiative.

At the very least, they were intrigued enough to actually want to talk to her in person, unlike the person who chose to just reject her application.

The comments praised Ms Irving for her gall and the story prompted some people to wonder how far you could take this strategy.

"HAHAHA when you override the system!"

"Just quickly emailing NASA for a job..."

Jessica shared screenshots of a bunch of messages she's received from news stations.

Considering all the publicity, Aldi's probably going to be feeling pretty pressured to hire her. Which is good, because they probably should.

It's hard to imagine that they will not bring up the now infamous email in the interview, hopefully they will see it as a strong demonstration of initiative!
