    Imagine this, very good grades, strong portfolio and work experience, just to be at the mercy of some random person who rejects you for highly arbitrary reasons like favouring another sports team.
    Then you get a default rejection mail, saying they have very carefully considered your application and wish you good luck in your future endeavours.

    Fuck this system.

      Didn’t read the article? The football team was hypothetical. I don’t give two shits about your background if it’s clear you’re not going to get along with the team.

        Yeah sure, if someone does not fit in with the team and it’s a rather social job, fair enough.

        But using something arbitrary like favouring some sports team, even though this served as an example, this doesn’t seem to be either a significant nor sufficient decision basis.
