There was no rhyme nor reason to it, especially since they all applied on the same day. I can tell you this: those friends that are still unemployed had to wait until their initial job authorizations fell off their application, but all of them will be immediately re-applying for new jobs, just to see if they can become employed. It will be interesting to see if they can find a job...and if they do, perhaps it just all depends on random chance as to which supervisor is reviewing new hires on the day the application arrives.

Nevertheless, it can be quite unnerving to have that many friends apply for jobs, and then have that many of them get denied. They all ended up sleeping on my couch for a while, and I am quite concerned about how expensive it might be to let them stay with me if they don't find jobs in the alloy sector soon.
