I don’t remember when I received this form letter — and there’s no date on it — but I can pretty much guarantee you this: Its claim that the market is “currently so competitive” [emphasis mine] was there for at least 5-10 years before I received it and stayed there 5-10 years after.
The market is always competitive.
O_O The “so competitve” part sure sounds familiar… (thinks back to job applications, volunteer programs, certain high school application). Gosh, we see that excuse everywhere >_<
