I agree that everyone needs a change once in a while. However, though you have good production experience, this position requires in-depth knowledge of the training process. Although you have been with Powell for five years, your background and experience have not prepared you for this particular position. Several applications have been received from people with training experience and even some with training experience in the manufacturing industry. The company will fill the position from these applicants. Unfortunately, you are not being selected for this position, but I am aware that you wish to continue to upgrade your position with the company. I encourage you to do this, and I’m sure that we — the company and you — will find the position that best matches your experience and background. Again, I appreciate your interest and hard work in the company and wish you luck in all your future promotions.
