Why is Thomas Cook rejecting my application, when I'm mainly qualified for the job?
Asked by ♥ =^.^= ♥ нєℓєη ♥ =^.^= ♥
I recently applied for an apprentice position at Thomas Cook. They got back to me and unfortunately for me they think I don't have the level of skills and experience for the job. Now on my application I've put that I am finishing studying a travel and tourism course at level 2 in college, plus to support this I am working at First Choice Holidays you know the travel agents. The most important thing that I wrote was the great customer service I have delivered to customers. Why did they reject me?

Best Answer:
The simple answer is that you're too qualified. They're after an apprentice not somebody who will come into the office with their own ideas on tourism and service levels. I did the same with a Financial Advisers Position. I applied for a trainee position thinking that as I'd qualified, it would make their job easier, but I got a letter back saying something along the lines of, "Your Background and skills don't match our requirements". Life's a female dog sometimes right?
