We regretfully inform...

This is the email I received from a popular chain of bookstores in response to my recent job application:

Dear Thomas, Thank you for applying to join our team at Generic Bookstore. We have carefully considered your application and regret that we have no suitable vacancies to match your skills and experience at this time. Thank you for your interest in Generic Bookstore and we wish you every success in your search for suitable employment. Yours sincerely, Generic Bookstore Resourcing Team


When you factor in my CV being chock full of retail/sales experience, including a run in consumer electronics, I'm left wondering what it is they actually do that results in my 'skills and experience' not matching the open vacancy I applied for. I can come to no sensible conclusion other than the 'Bookshop' being a front for something else. Arms dealing perhaps. Or cattle rustling.
