Well, a disappointment arose today when one of my kids discovered that the job they thought they had lined up fell through.

I don't understand why an employer can't tell an applicant why they didn't accept them. If it was a matter of someone more qualified, then at least the person can keep trying. If, however, they did something that turned them off during the interview, they can work on that problem before the next one.

Anyways, it hurts me, as dad, to know that my child was so excited about the job possibility and then it didn't work out.
