I received a few job offers from a couple of Fortune 500 companies in January. I whittled my choices down to what I thought would be the best fit for me (not the highest pay). The recruiter and I discussed a start date for me in mid February but a week before I was to start, the recruiter called me with news that they hadn't received confirmation from my school that I had graduated. I assured the recruiter that I had graduated and that I would call my school to clear up any problem. The recruiter and I also agreed upon a later start date in April because there were some other important obligations that I had to attend to. A few days later, I called my school to make sure they sent confirmation of my graduation to the company and they assured me that it would be sent out that day.
In April, I get another call from my recruiter stating that they have decided to rescind my offer. The reason, as the recruiter put it, was because I was supposed to start in February and because they still didn't receive my graduation information. I told them that we agreed that I would start in April and that I had no clue why my school still had not sent the information I had requested but it didn't do anything. My dream job was gone. I contacted my school again, and they appologized for the clerical error and mailed me everything that I had asked them to send to the company. I forwarded all of this information back to the company in hopes that it would help my cause, but I didn't even get an answer back.
Since then, I have been increasing my skills in that industry so I can be more qualified than before. I applied again and I guess the same recruiter came across my resume again. The recruiter contacted me and said that I cannot be employed at that company (at that office or any office in the US) and did not give me a reason why.
Can one HR manager make such a decision? There's a few partners at the company that still want me to work for them. Is there anything I should do in regards with my school for not getting the information that I had requested to the company? |

You changed your alias but your story's the same. It became obvious when you mentioned the offer was from a Big 4 (even though Accenture's not an accounting firm). Your story was funny, but in the end get it into your head that it's your fault.
