TO: Bettina Rusque, HR Assistant WA
SUBJECT: Your Rude Letter
Dear Ms Rusque
I was most disappointed to receive your letter informing me that I was not to be offered an interview for the shift supervisor position, and that you would not discuss the matter further.
The tone of your letter suggests to me that STAR is attempting to cover up questionable, or even illegal, recruitment practices. Indeed the fact that you will not discuss applications or provide feedback may itself be illegal.
In particular, I am concerned about possible age discrimination. The selection documents did not mention age, although the advertisement said 'youthful'. Moreover your Mr Perez told me on the phone that he was looking for a 'young, dynamic team'. I assure you life begins at 40, and I regard myself as both young and with plenty of `youthful exuberance', and I would like to know whether I have been refused an interview because you thought that I was too old.
Yours sincerely,
Gus Tinsdale
