I know I’m qualified, and my local post office REALLY wants me to work with them. And I was even selected as an RCA last time, but the only reason I didn’t take the job is because I didn’t have a minivan. (I have a car, not a minivan).
However, even though the LOCAL post office told me that I would be a great fit for the ARC position, the HR in Washington DC denied my application and I didn’t even get an email notifying me about it.
So I sent another application, and I decided to call HR in Washington DC. They seem kinda rude, and they flat out told me, “Hiring you is not their descision to make.”, which seems like BS to me because the LOCAL post office knows all about me, and the people in Washington DC know NOTHING about me.
What’s the secret? How do I penetrate this HR Bureaucracy?
Are you able to attach a reference from the local manager in your application? Can you attach a cover letter?
If you see the listing, can you basically paraphrase each qualification and/or key duty and tie it to your experience on your resumé? I don’t know what ARC role is but for example, “Sorted 100s of files per day as a Mytown Public Library volunteer.”
