What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.*
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

I had seen this, but honestly, if you get rejected who cares about how the rejection letter looks. Even if they put hearts on it, you're still not getting a job at Harvard. Even places that phone interviewed me didn't bother sending any kind of rejection letter.
ReplyDeleteThey have a reputation of elitism and arrogance to maintain, cut them some slack!
ReplyDeleteI got a rejection letter from a graduate school just like that. LOL!
ReplyDelete"we wish you well in your future endeavors" = "good luck". As I've asked elsewhere, how many "good luck" wishes do you have to trade in to find a job?
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding the answer....
DeleteI distinctly remember that my grad school rejection letter from there said "We know this comes as a disappointment to you..."
ReplyDeleteNot to get all sour grapesy, but isn't that just a bit presumptuous?
Sounds like Harvard can't win. They're either too impersonal, or too presumptuous. Apparently they should work with the psychology department on how to let chemists down as delicately as possible!
