Post Body

I applied for two different positions at the same company (customer service, and flight crew training scheduler). I received an immediate reply from an hr recruiter who scheduled a phone screen for the scheduler position, which seemed to go incredibly well; it seemed as though I would be a perfect fit. I was advised I would hear back within 2 days if I would be advancing to the next round of interviews (I did follow up immediately with a thank you email). 2 days later, I received a form email thanking me for applying to the customer service position, but they were not going to move forward with me. I immediately followed up with the recruiter thanking them again for taking the time to speak with me, and asked if there was any feedback they could provide. I just heard back from the recruiter, indicating the hiring manager felt I did not have enough experience. Separately, I also received the automated, "thank you but no thank you email" at the same time.

Is the last reply something I should take at face value, or did I screw up royally by following up on the wrong rejection email (possibly showing a lack of attention to detail)? Or, am I overthinking this?

TL/DR:

  • Applied for both customer service and scheduler positions
  • Phone screen for scheduler position (seemed to go really well)
  • Received automated, "we are not considering you for the position" email for the customer service position
  • Followed up with recruiter asking for feedback. thinking I wasn't being considered for the scheduling position
  • Received reply indicating the hiring team didn't think I had the experience
