Dumb People Hiring

Do you what is extremely annoying to me?  Jobs that require POST MLIS professional experience. WTH?  Sorry, I have paid, professional librarian experience, but because I was attending graduate school at the time, that doesn't count as experience in your eyes?

Today, I received a rejection letter (I get at least several a week) from a COMMUNITY COLLEGE of all places.  It was not the standard, "we've chosen someone else..." or "your credentials were impressive, but..." They actually had the nerve to say I was not qualified.

Dear Elizabeth Dill:

Thank you for your interest for the position of Librarian at XXX. Unfortunately you do not meet the established minimum qualifications to be considered for this position.

Seriously?!?!  At least 20 minutes of a customized cover letter; add another 20 for your dumb ass online application  and you won't count my professional experience that you would have counted had I not been in grad school? Does any other graduate degree do this? *&($^#&#$#
