Letter: The bizarreness of being rejected for a job by Vail Resorts

Last fall, I wrote a letter to Pique describing my experience applying for a job at Vail Resorts in Whistler during a housing crisis.

More recently, I had the experience of applying for another job at that company. As before, I received a job offer from the applicant tracking system, but this time, instead of having to decline the offer because of a lack of housing, I received a message from the department in question saying that they weren’t going to hire me. Perhaps this is completely normal for this company, but it is very odd receiving a job offer from one part of a company and a rejection from another.
