Follow up if you are rejected

Here is an example why. Jenna Lee was rejected after applying for a position as a TV news reporter. So she inquired seeking feedback that could help her improve her demo tape. The response was they didn’t like her accent. But she felt she had no regional accent, and followed up again. They found that a different person, Jennifer Lee, did have an accent, and was disqualified. They assumed they were the same person and never saw Jenna Lee’s demo tape, but did later. She was hired.

Hi Lin: Thank you and great to hear from you.

Do you have a recommendation of someone who could start a local APSS chapter in SF or Oakland area? We have 11 nationwide so far and I'm looking to expand to the West Coast.

Thanks again and I hope all is well wiht you, Brian
