When I was in high school, the seniors had a bulletin board in the mailroom. From January to May it was transformed to the Great Wall of Shame. Students would tack up their rejection letters from colleges. Special props were given to personalized rejections, extra harsh rejections, and rejections from schools considered "beneath us."
If only I had a board for the job search thing. Oh wait. I can just make my own, here.
Dear Evil Twin #1,
Thank you for the follow up. I have received one letter from your
advisor, who is very positive. Unfortunately, my lab has lately become
oversubscribed, and I am not able to offer you a postdoctoral position. I
was forced to choose among several highly qualified individuals, and please
know that this does not reflect a poor assessment of your application.
I wish you the best of luck with your studies.
Regards,
Professor that is only 4 years older than me
