Even Berkshire doesn't want me

Dear Melle,

Thank you for sending your CV to us.

Although you have some strong experience, unfortunately we have nothing suitable for your skill set and/or location at the moment. We will keep your details on our active database and will call you immediately when a more suitable position arises.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest and to wish you all the best in finding a new position.

Yours sincerely,

xXx

Senior Consultant

OK. I'm now officially depressed. Nothing suitable for my skill set? I replied to an ad, I know my skill set is suitable. It's just that I probably was a mean, promiscuous, conniving and manipulative slut in a previous life and I'm now paying.
Right, I'm off to string swearwords and hurl them very loudly over the périphérique now.

PS: I know I've asked already, but you don't happen to know anyone who would be willing to marry for citizenship, do you.
