'Worst that happens is nothing': After getting rejected from a job, man sends an email to recruiter disagreeing with their decision, causing recruiter to retract the rejection

Every person who has even been through a job searching period got at least a dozen emails automatically rejecting them from a job. We all read the lines: 'We regret to inform you…', and we all know that most of the time, no one on the other end has glanced at your resume for longer than 10 seconds before deciding you are not a good fit.

Very often, that rejection can come from job postings that are simply perfect for you, postings in which you check every single box they are after, but still you get that automated reply saying they went in a different direction.

Well, this man here decided he was not taking no for an answer. He decided to try and reply to one of those emails, inquiring why they thought he was not a good fit. This caused the recruiter to actually take a moment and read the man's resume, which made him realize that he made a mistake.
