Woman Responds To Job Rejection Letter With A Hilarious Meme

Woman Responds To Job Rejection Letter With A Hilarious Meme - And Ends Up Scoring An Interview

A woman who had nothing else to lose responded to a rejection letter with a hilarious meme — and ended up scoring an interview with the company.

TikTok user @swedishswan shared her story in a now-viral video, explaining that she had woken up to “another rejection letter” from a job that she had applied for.

“I really kind of wanted this job, so I took a lesson from Gen Z, and I sent them back this,” she said, sharing a picture of the meme she responded with.

The meme in question is a painting of Pope Leo X by Fernando Botero that has the phrase “y tho” written underneath his face.

Much to her surprise, the move ended up reinvigorating the company's interest in her as a job applicant.

“They sent me another email saying they do, in fact, now want to interview me,” she said. “I can't believe that worked.”

The video has been viewed more than five million times and has received thousands of comments from delighted viewers.

“These are the stories that keep me going in life,” one person wrote, while another added: “As a recruiter, if someone sent that to me, I would ABSOLUTELY want an interview.”

“Responding to a rejection email was literally how I got my job now,” someone else commented. “I kept thinking: what are they gonna do, NOT hire me MORE?”

TikTok user @swedishswan never shared where she got the idea from, but she was likely inspired by another viral video that took the internet by storm earlier this year.

Samantha Jane, who is known as @samantha_jane on the platform, revealed in March that her sister Hannah, a job recruiter, received the same meme in response to a rejection email.

The bold move didn't work in this case, but plenty of people thought it was amusing, including Samantha.

The TikTok user has since made her account private, but she described the response being “the most Gen Z thing” she has ever seen.

“No context, no other text, just the meme. I love it so much,” she added.

The Real Risks: Weighing Vaccine Side Effects vs. Deadly Diseases

Some dog owners express concern about vaccine risks. Meanwhile, preventable diseases continue to pose a documented threat. For example, a two-year pause in dog rabies vaccination campaigns in Haiti resulted in a five to eightfold increase in animal rabies cases within a single year, creating a public health crisis that required an emergency response. This event illustrates a central fact: the dangers of vaccine-preventable diseases are quantifiably greater than the known risks associated with vaccination. This article will address concerns about vaccine safety by examining the precise nature of both vaccine risks and disease threats, using verifiable data to support informed decision-making for your dog's health. The Biological Impossibility of Canine Autism The claim that vaccines cause autism in dogs is not supported by veterinary science due to fundamental biological reasons.

5 Must-Ask Questions Before You Leave Your Dog at the Groomer

A 2022 study in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior noted that over 50% of dogs show signs of stress during grooming. While severe physical injuries are less common, a single preventable incident is one too many. Cases like those in Louisiana, where dogs received ocular chemical burns from misused shampoo at a licensed facility, demonstrate that a groomer’s marketing claims are not a guarantee of safety. Your dog’s well-being depends on the protocols you cannot see. The only way to evaluate them is to ask direct, specific questions. The goal is not to create conflict, but to identify competence and build trust based on transparent practices. 1. “What is your exact step-by-step protocol for protecting my dog’s eyes during the bath?” The difference between a safe groom and a dangerous one lies in the specifics of execution.
