Hi Ruby:
I'm very sorry for the short notice, but unfortunately we need to cancel the interview that you had scheduled for today.

Rather than wasting your time, I wanted to be very upfront about this. We conducted a first interview with another
candidate who impressed us so much that we decided to offer them the position.
We really enjoyed your interview, which is why we invited you back for a second interview, but the other candidate
we spoke with had even more relevant experience and so we decided to offer them a trial.
This doesn't reflect on your application at all. We thought you were fantastic, and we very much enjoyed connecting
with you, and had we not been so impressed with the successful candidate we would have had no reservations about
offering you a positon with our company.
If a second position arises in the future then we will certainly reach out to you.
Thank you again for your application and we'd like to wish you all the best for the future.

Kind regards,



Alice PageCustomer Support Manager

  1. Ruby,
    I am sorry this is the way things turned out. It is okay though. Do not let it set you back. God has a plan for each of us and this was not in the plan for you. I hope you are well.

  2. Darn it! I know how badly you wanted this job, but at least they didn't close the door to future possibilities. I have to say that it's probably the most positive turn-away letter I've ever seen, so obviously they liked you!
    Ditto what Ranci said about it just not being the right thing at the right time. Hang in there, keep looking, keep working the program, and remember that we survivors never, ever give up hope! OXOX, Josie
