we regret to inform you we have decided to move forward with another candidate.
The problem with jokes is that you rarely get to see what happens after the punchline.
Probably dodged a bullet.
I regret to inform you I have decided to move forward with another employer.
Why are Some of the words Randomly Capitalized?
If you’re Asking, you’re Not ready for the Answer.
It’s a common way to emphasize words.
not sure, but my voice to text does it to me all the time. If I say anything that smartphones might interpret as a title or a proper noun, it will capitalize anything. except the beginning of a sentence apparently, sometimes.
Because this was made by a dumb person for dumb people.
Isn’t that what a lot of people already do?
I’m not familiar, how do prospective employees talk to previous employees?
Glassdoor or reviews on Google
ah, thats true - I was seeing it literally, my b
It could be literal too. Depends on the industry and how long you’ve been in it. If “networking” is something in your field then there is a good chance you will know people who are at or used to be at a particular employer. Heck, high school kids know people at other jobs and will share what it’s like to work there.

Whats this? Never heard of this
Same as glasdoor. Try to look it up.
Oh yeah, fs Ill check it out, just never had heard of it prior and was curious about your experience, etc.
Oh I gotcha! It helped me out figuring out my current job. Current or past Employees write a review about the company and most people are brutaly honest. Sometimes you need to take the reviews with a grain of salt because people write it in an emotional state but yeah it helped me to get a good view.
I actually met with my predecessor to discuss technical handover of some systems (he volunteered to help)
Yes. It’s pretty trivial via linkedin and glass door. Perfectly acceptable behavior.
OKAY! We’ll be in touch if we decide to move forward with you…
FYI they can only contact your previous employers to verify that you did indeed work there, and ask from what date to what date. They are not legally allowed to ask anything else and your previous employer is not legally allowed to give any other information
I don’t think it’s illegal, just legally risky for them to be overly candid about you in a negative way because you could sue them.
They can’t say an actything factually inaccurate. They could say you had a disciplinary for xyz on so and so date.
But let’s face it, places will want to put in the minimum they can effort on a reference.
I think they can ask whatever they want about your job performance etc, but if your old employer answers with anything that is just their opinion , they open themselves to legal liability which is why in practice they usually only confirm employment dates, position, and maybe vague summary of tasks .
Which country are you talking about?
That’s just not true. https://www.acas.org.uk/providing-a-job-reference/what-employers-can-say-in-a-reference
Got a source on this? I couldn’t find it with a quick google, only that they’re not allowed to give subjective opinions.
Good luck proving that though.
I always forget to do a previous company search on LinkedIn until I’m in house and the writing is on the wall. Then I see a graveyard of bodies and it makes sense.
Isn’t this just glassdoor
Unfortunately they’ve really become Yelp in a bad way, racketeering. Pay us and control your reviews. Don’t and … bad stuff might happen like ads for your competitor.
