Rejection email not even 24hrs after applying

Sent in my application for a Real Estate Analyst program. 19 hours later, I get a rejection e-mail. I've never been rejected so fast lol it usually takes 1-2 months. I met literally every bullet point in the job posting too. What am I doing wrong here? Even the jobs that say 0-1 years of exp don't want to interview me.

Yep gonna agree with this - would probably shine some light, but with a rejection that fast I'm thinking that maybe they had a required item on their list that maybe you didn't meet. Again, just a thought but it would make sense with a quick rejection.

 

Exactly. This is far from something to complain about. Most companies just waste your time.
