I’m sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.
How the hell do people get jobs online? I’ve only ever landed a job in person.
I don’t know. I’ve been applying for jobs for seven years online, and I haven’t gotten a fucking thing.
I have 30, 20, 15, and 10 years of experience in the four major career fields I pursue, and I can never, not once not ever, get even a reply back, let alone an explanation as to why I wouldn’t fit the role.
I mean how many jobs have you applied to online? I think about 1 in 100 applications leading to an interview is around standard, although some people will get lucky.
Also the reason we don’t explain why you didn’t get the job is because given hundreds of applications, that would take hours to do (I personally only look at a resume for 10+ seconds anyways) and we don’t want to open ourselves to legal retaliation
I know right?
Some say “If you don’t have a job, your only job is to get a job”
Others say “Time is money”
Well, if I waste my time filing 100 applications, why ain’t I getting paid for my time filing applications?
Filing applications isn’t a job, it’s a chore, and one that doesn’t even pay, unless it’s that 1 out of 100 or whatever when you actually do land a job.
