Dominic Joyce had applied for more than 100 jobs by the time he reached the final round for a maternity cover HR position this summer. After two online interviews, he attended an assessment day that included meetings with senior bosses at the tech company where he hoped to work.
今年夏天，申请某科技公司人力资源部门一个产假临时替补岗位的多米尼克•乔伊斯(Dominic Joyce)在进入最后一轮面试时，已经申请了100多个岗位。经过两次在线面试后，他参加了“评估日”活动，见到了该公司的高层领导。
So when Joyce received a short rejection email, he was extremely disappointed. He seemed no closer to finding a job than when he was made redundant in March. Worse, the company provided no constructive feedback. Half the 156 jobs he has applied for gave no response at all.
因此，当乔伊斯收到一封简短的拒绝邮件时，他非常失望。他似乎并没有比3月被裁员时离找到工作更近。更糟糕的是，那家公司没有提供任何建设性的反馈。在他申请的156个岗位中，有一半根本没有回复。
“There’s been times when it’s a Friday and I’ve had three rejections in one day,” he says. To make ends meet, Joyce has worked as an Amazon driver and sold a family heirloom. “I’m not in a great place. You put on a smiley face [but] the process is rotten.”
“我曾经在一个周五收到三封拒绝邮件，”他说。为了维持生计，乔伊斯当过亚马逊(Amazon)司机，还卖掉了一件传家宝。“我现在的处境不好。你摆出一副笑脸，（但）整个过程糟糕透了。”
