No, I haven’t farted in the server room.
I just received a phone call from an agent who says her Client won’t consider me for the role because I 'live too far away and would increase ClientCo’s carbon footprint'. I said I always travel by train and stay in B&Bs close to ClientCo, but to no avail; ClientCo has a policy not to hire people from more than 50kms away due to environmental concerns. ClientCo did however say that my CV fit the role almost perfectly and they “regret this decision”.
So should I conclude they’re happy to have an unsuitable numpty who lives 49kms away and drives into work in a Hummer, but not a suitably qualified person from 100kms away who uses the train?
This is the weirdest rejection reason I’ve ever heard.
