A job rejection letter by KFC has gone viral on Twitter and for the wrong reasons. The fast-food chain denied a job to a woman named Sophie Corcoran despite her prior work experience. Sophie posted a screenshot of the letter on Twitter. Users have called it the “most cringe rejection ever”. The letter is packed with chicken-related puns that, people felt, were inappropriate to convey a rejection message. Further, Sophie was rejected even though she had worked with KFC before. On the contrary, the letter by KFC mentioned that Sophie's application was being rejected as she lacked work experience.
In the Twitter post, Sophie stated, “I can't even get a job in KFC up in Durham because ‘I don't have experience' despite working at KFC for two and a half years. I give up with Durham. I want to move back home now I just want my life back,” along with the image of the letter sent by KFC.
She received a reply from KFC with the subject line, “Team member application at Thinford KFC.” The letter by KFC read, “Hi Sophie, thank you for your application to Team KFC. We're cluckin' delighted you're keen to join our flock, however, at this moment in time your skills aren't the secret recipe the Colonel is looking for.”
It further added, “But we'd love to hear from you again when you have some more experience under your wing, so please give us a cluck if you would like to apply in the future. Best wishes, Team KFC.”
The post received hundreds of likes and comments from the users. A user commented, “Another user wrote, “Sorry no offence to Sophie but that is the funniest rejection letter I've ever seen.”

Most places are very happy to have people applying for open jobs rigbt now.
If they believed she wasn’t a fit, they didn’t have to be complete bent d1cks about it. No reason for it.
I’d own a franchise behind THAT jit !
Ok, I’m done.
Seems kind of chicken-shit to me.
She didn’t just apply for the job on a lark.
They only pay chicken feed anyway.
That note was highly inappropriate and unprofessional.
People apply for work because they need the job, they don’t apply to be mocked, however lightheartedly.
This employee probably has a similar template letter for
Job Termination. Lots of whimsical puns and gauche little rhymes. This is someone who’s very bored with their job.
They should not be conducting interviews anymore.
Such disrespect would leave....a bad taste in my mouth.
I guess the chicken’s have come home to roost!
Amazing how it's now a commonplace, fact-of-life for the young generation to put whatever happens to them "out there" for the world to see and know about.
In her case, it amounts to - "Look what happened to me, feel sorry for me".
It's astounding how little resiliance and backbone most of this young generation has. They require attention, sympathy and emotional propping up for things us older folks would just chalk up to a loss or a moment-in-time disappointment and simply move on.
Maybe their experience with her for 2.5yrs wasn’t up to scratch.
You’re crying “fowl”?
Pullet my finger.
Nowadays people are “empowered” when they are given the victim title.
And most modern women are addicted to selfies and postings and getting social approval from those online “followers”
You don’t think she has a bone to pick?
The Applicant, no doubt feels ‘battered’ after that letter.
She should demand a face to face interview with a different manager, but that manager would probably be
‘too chicken’ to wing it.
Now she can seek out a better job - spread her wings and fly.
Fire the rotten egg who wrote that letter. What a fowl way to treat her.
Damn, this has the henhouse all a twitter.
