Job rejection in about 13 seconds...

My counterpart apparently applied for a job with BP.  I received an email confirming that I had applied for the job, and I noticed his interesting answer to this question:

Do you have the essential education for this role as described above?

No

Hmmm...

Not surprisingly, about 13 seconds later I received another email:

We regret to inform you, that based on the information that you have provided, you do not meet the essential criteria and qualifications for this position. In order to secure the best people, we define specific and stretching minimum criteria for each role and as a result, many people do not progress any further than their initial application, which we can appreciate is disappointing. 

Poor guy...
