Dearest David........this email is one horrible excuse for followup from a placement agency. Marketing or not. They had to send out SEVEN emails like this....SEVEN! IF they reused the email they sent the 20 to 10 contestants, well, that is INEXCUSABLE!
They had their out......all they had to write was it was simply based on votes.....bla bla bla.....or there were over 500,000 votes and unfortunately bla bla bla.....
To include the words "decision" and "determine" and then "selected" bothers me beyond words.
At the risk of having you repeat yourself, did you say when you received this email????
I was talking to my husband about this very issue today (regarding placement agencies and headhunting). Career Builders had over 1300 potential employees to place.......A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE OF OVER THIRTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE!!! All were applying for a job. Now only three are eligible for that job. I wonder how many of the more than 1,297 remaining applicants are still interested in having Career Builder's help them?!
When I sold "people" to companies, I was only as good as the potential employees I represented. No matter how good a salesperson I was to get the job order (position or contract), I had to interview and pre-screen and KNOW that I had the best applicant to present for the job. It was my job to identify talent. No better way to do that then to secure a large applicant pool to represent. Small applicant base, obviously a lower percentage of good fits so to speak. So again, I was only as good as the people who wanted me to go to work for them!
I am so troubled by your email David. You deserved much, much more from them for the potential that you brought to their company alone. Notice I am not placing the responsibility on Disney? They hired Career Builders, they went to the professional in hiring. Hmmm.......especially after reading about the followup email.......I would not feel confident having them represent me at this point.
Same feeling for the website. If you hire IT Professionals then prove that you have them.....make your site work. Hear this loud and clear, THE VERY SAME 1300 APPLICANTS COULD ALSO POTENTIALLY BE 1300 EMPLOYERS WHO NEED TO FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT THE PLACEMENT AGENCY THEY USE!!! See how that works??? They need to use the captive audience they have and tap into ALL the potential we possess!!!
As Nemo said, "I AM READY!" Please call me Career Builders, I would love to see you make this right for the contestants who didn't advance with this job opportunity.....because honestly, you never know where your next JOB ORDER or who your next potential EMPLOYEE will be!
David, hope you can read through the lines, I come off as so very subtle! Love you!!!!! Ann(ie)
Us too! Memphis is my (and DH's) Alma Mater.
I can't believe they waited until 3:30pm EDT to tell the other 7, after the news had been announced just after midnight. I agree with some of you that things have been done pretty unprofessionally.
I am going to "Plugola" my Tripp Photo Biography book that I am putting together here.
Cat, Tripp was really touched by your Ducky Ambassador of Georgia proclamation...really. He took the award to heart and my camera was on hand to capture his first official act.
Oh how I just love to see you go OFF! You're MY Wonder Woman! 
(shock and awe) 
to give him one more hug for his worries.... Quick stop in Ann's room to leave her some honorary wrist bands, slips a note under the door to Cathie wishing her a fantastic trip and a jesture to Mr. Autopia 
just because!
Hi there everyone.....
Been popping in to see what's going on..... I KNEW Ann would have something to chew on when she got ahold of this bit of news.
Getting ready to call it a night....just finished booking a special trip.
No - not to Disney.
I'm taking my 11 year old to New York City in June to see some broadway shows, take some classes, and just have some "girl" time. It was fun booking it, I really needed a momentary relief from this contest. I am left so unimpressed.
"Night everyone"

Goodnight Amy........thanks for knowing me well enough to know that I would definitely have an opinion and air it!
Oh, and I used to work in NYC and am quite the Broadway fan.......so we can chat anytime (get tickets to Wicked).
I am signing off too......too disappointed to stay here for another 2 am night.
Goodnight Everyone!!! Thanks for letting me vent! I always have your backs!
! Try and rest well, ok? 
We definitely missed you! You may have already found a roomate (as I'm still catching up on the thread from this morning), but if not...I would LOVE to bunk with you. I know your pixie dust would cheer both of us up and I'd bring some animated friends along to help us keep our room clean. Whadd'ya think?
You can stay up in the attic if you want.... plenty of room up here. Besides.... I want to bury the hatchet.... and so does the bride up here. Hahahahahahaha
I can always count on Ann to say what most of us are thinking. Love ya Ann!Dearest David........this email is one horrible excuse for followup from a placement agency. Marketing or not.
