To whom it may concern:

Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to interview with your organization for a position of responsibility. I greatly appreciate the first phone interview, which took up 30 minutes of my any-time minutes, the writing sample which you asked me to do over Labor Day weekend, and the second interview, which required a trip to Charlotte, a good 2-hour drive away, all without reimbursement. I am most thankful for your telling me that you would be back in touch with your final decision by early last week and dragging it out until this evening, only to tell me that I'm over-qualified and have too much life-experience for your no-brainer, two-bit administrative position that I am willing to take because I need a job that badly. I regret that you changed your mind about the job description after our interviews, encouraging me, instead, to re-apply for a position of yet greater responsibility in the spring. Hopefully, I won't have gathered too much more life experience in the five or six months between now and then.

Ever your,

humble,

and bitter servant,

Lauren
