Sample no open positions at this time letter
Dear Mrs. Rosen,
I have received your application from Human Resources Director Michael Macson because he feels that you would be a great fit for this company and he was impressed with your application. I would like to thank you for your application to AAJ Assurance and want to remind you that we appreciate the time you took to apply here and that you thought of AAJ Assurance.
However, we currently have no data entry positions available at this time and Michael should have known that. While we would love to have you here working for us, we currently can’t offer you a position at this time and will keep your records on file should a position open up in the near future. I would urge you to check up on this position every 2 weeks because we do have a couple of people who may be up for retirement soon.
You can call me directly at 383-401-2019 to check up on your application to see if any positions are open.
Sincerely,
Marcus Rossenfield
