would it be wrong to call and ask them exactly which qualifications it is that you didn't meet?

In vain I have struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed.

You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.

Go for it, knowing your weaknesses is the first step to strengthening them.

Not at all, especially in the situation you're in where they rejected it under the idiocy they did.

yea some places use that as a way to politely say your too young. staples said I didnt have enough experience to work in their print department,  and i had over 6 years printing experience and a degree in printing technology as well as a few other certifications from the department of labor (how much more experience could they want)

The only qualifications that I was aware of was that you had to be over 18, have a high school diploma and a clean criminal record.

I'm a bit past 18, have a couple of bachelor's degrees and quite the clean criminal record.

I don't think it would be wrong at all.

I wouldn't argue with them though. For instance, if they say you didn't meet X qualification, even though you had just mistakenly forgot to put it on your resume, I wouldn't try to argue about it.

They may not want to talk to you about your resume too, and I wouldn't pressure them to discuss your resume with you. If they say they can't go over your resume with you, just drop it.

Just remember that they don't owe you any explanation, so be polite and very grateful for any response they might give you.

We liked someone else a bit more than you is pretty subjective, thus had to question someone about, but you are unqualified is a pretty objective statement that should have a simple answer to.
