Colonel Sanders chicken has become a Kiwi favorite, so how much do we spend at KFC? Video / NZ Herald
A rejection letter from KFC to a job hopeful has gone viral online – but the internet can't decide if its "brilliant" or "brutal".
British university student Sophie Corcoran took to Twitter to air her frustration at struggling to find work, claiming she had been turned down by the fast-foodgiant for lack of experience, despite having worked at KFC "for two and a half years" previously.
Accompanied with her tweet was the rejection letter informing Sophie she had been unsuccessful using an assortment of chicken puns.
It read: "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."
The letter didn't end there, continuing on to tell Sophie to "give us a click" once she has "more experience under you wing".
"I'm more shocked by the bad puns, sure use them when you are offering someone a job, but in a rejection letter?" another added.
One outraged responder tweeted the global fast-food brand asking: "You seriously write rejection letters like this?! That's how you treat people? Sort it out."
What a stupid response from KFC. I hate letters like this. Why don't they just get to the point and be honest instead of dressing it up. I had many negative responses from job applications when I was younger.
