Killing me softly

In days of job hunting, it's often a nice thing to see new emails appears in email inbox. Even junk mails look less disgusting than they used to be. And emails form company you applied will make you really excited.

I got a incoming mail in the afternoon. Titled "Thank you from xxxxx!"("xxxxx" refered to a company i applied months ago). Ha, i must be a interview notification, I assummed. I could not help opening it. written in the email:

Dear Sir:
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review your resume and qualification.

Not really, you are welcome, haha.

It is regretted that we have a very limited number of postings for which a large number of candidates are applying....

Aha, well

Your application has been reviewed along with other applicants. While we are impressed with your qualification, we can not offer you job with xxxxx.

So?

Please understand that this is not a negative evaluation of your accomplishment, but rather a reflection of our unique hiring needs.

Look, they are consoling me :(

Thank you very much for your interest with xxxxx. Wish you every success in locating a challenging career opportunity in the future.

What should I say, I guess i should only say, well, thank you, too.

Compromise?

Last Saturday, i was rejected by a local firm, get rejected in my first interview, it should be depressing. And more or less, I think I am depressed.

The first two rounds of interview was going on well, and i think those who gave me the interview was quite good at techniques. so i think in this way, i had like this firm someway. but in the third round, i was given a interview by a gal from their HR department. I think i was a little arrogant then, so i get rejected.

The most disaggreement was working location. i don't like Shenzhen, but the company was only supplying jobs their. i don't compromise, and actted arrogantly.

Anyway, I get some experience and i think i can do well next time. and i get depressed mostly because it was they rejected me, not I rejected them.
