A young writer was left in tears after receiving a job application with a confidence boosting message attached.
Kiran, a comic and writer from London, posted a snap of the rejection email to Twitter.
Thousands of Brits are currently looking for work having graduated or lost jobs during the coronavirus pandemic.
And it seems this employer understood how demoralising it can be to find out you haven’t landed the role.
Kiran captioned the snap: “I am crying at this job rejection email.
“Like I didn’t need all this?
“I just saw a role posting and applied? Omfg.”

In the rejection email the employer had added a note which read: “Keep trying and applying.
“No one remembers the rejections; it only takes one ‘yes’ to change it all.
“But don’t just take it from us, take it from these folks…”
The email then listed a number of famous people who had dealt with set backs.
It said: “The Beatles were turned down by Decca Records, Dick Rowe, who believes that ‘guitar groups were on the way out’ and that ‘they has no future in show business’. We wonder how he feels now.
“After Harrison Ford’s first small movie role, an executive took him into his office and told him he’d never succeed in the movie business.
“Michael Jordan was actually cut from his high school basketball team.”
The email continued: “Lady Gaga got dropped by her record label, Island Def Jam, after three months.
“James Dyson had 5,126 failed prototypes of his ‘bagless vacuum cleaner’ before the next one worked.
“After just one performance, Elvis Presley was fired by Jimmy Denny, the manager at the Grand Ole Opry.”
It added: “May this rejection be a tiny and forgotten set on the road to your next big ‘yes’ — the one that really matters.”
Almost 1,000 people retweeted the post while 3,000 liked it.
One person replied to the tweet and said: “Personally, hearing about James Dyson's hoover failures would make me feel much better!”
“Part of me would love something like that right now anyway, but also it's like 'are you saying I'm super talented and you've just passed me up?’,” added another.
A third wrote: “Is this sweet or horrifying? I can't decide.”
And a fourth added: “In this current climate, we all need rejection emails like this tbf. It’s hard out here.”
However, a lot of people weren’t fans of the message.
One person said: “Where on earth have they copied and pasted this from?
“‘We wonder how Dick Rowe feels now??’ He died in 1986!”
“This email is worse than the rejection,” added another.
