Applicants will receive a notification email when no longer being considered for the position applied for. There may be many reasons why an email was generated. Because of the large number of applications received for each position, we are unable to comment on individual situations; however, a common reason includes not meeting minimum qualifications/screening criteria. If you receive an email shortly after applying notifying you that your application is not being advanced for further consideration in the selection process, most commonly that occurs because of a response to one of the questions on the application.
