When I press them further, and ask them what they meant by that, all they told me was that it’s not doing my case any good to keep on calling and harassing them if I ever wanted to be employed by The Villages in the future. I’m not calling to harass them. they at least owe me an explanation as to why I can’t be employed by The Villages.

Two suggestions. First have a friend review your application/resume with a critical eye. Some common errors are listing job history going back to many years. Employers don’t care what you did in 1990, what have you done recently. If you haven’t worked recently offer a good reason. Such as “ retired from successful career, but miss being part of a team”.
Also Team statements. If I saw an applicant with “I” to many times I wondered how they would fit in a team. My impression is the Villages is looking for good team players who not only work well with the public but also with all other employees.
Finally as stated you received all the explanation you’re entitled to. The worst thing you can do is trying to reach out for further explanation. They have invested in an online application system for a reason.
