Rejection letter - You have to be kidding me, right

Posted: Mar 01, 2012

Help me out here. I have more than 35 years' acute care experience that covered absolutely every speciality and subspecialty out there. I worked at a 1000-bed teaching/research hospital for many years, along with some smaller regional hospitals. I am a high-production MT serving in a significant ESL environment. I have excellent quarterly QA scores. I was the go-to MT with drop-dead reliability, who would stay there until the job was done. My references are perfect. I had formal MT training and I have a BA in English from a state university. There's not a negative on my resume or in my history. Epic came, changed the entire medical documentation process (BTW producing crap for output), and then our hospital fired nearly all of us. So I begin searching for work. Testing was great, but being burned at my last hospital, I'm looking for the right fit. I got this e-mail yesterday, and it just blew me away. This was an ordinary MT position with nothing exotic in terms of requirements. I've been over my resume a thousand times and it's perfect. I'd like to see the successful candidate for this job.
