You spend the time applying for a job...

[M1VT]

And company's dont even bother replying to say you were not successful.

How hard can it be for someone to send am e-mail/phone call saying you didnt make it after sending a good half hour applying....

Makes me rage,i'm struggling to live with my current job and i'm looking for an extra job./whole new job

Applied for god knows how many jobs...not a single reply

[RichM]

Same with me mate, pretty shit tbh.

If they replied to every single person who applied they'd never have time for anything else.

For example we recently had 2 positions open and within a day 150 people had applied, you can imagine what it was like after the full week was up.

People who make the interview stage and then don't get accepted are always told they haven't got the job, but seriously, companies don't have time to tell everyone.

It's just something you have to accept.

I was without a job for months and now I finally have one, my agency keeps phoning up telling me about all these new vacancies they want me for ffs.. redunkulous

not difficult to set up an e-mail feature that sends one generic e-mail to the e-mail address of those in the 'no' box, would take about 20 mins to set up and use no minutes to administer :)

Same here after 6 months of trying to find work ive only got one reply :n:

I was thinking the same,something like "if application successful=No then Send No e-mail to senders address" but OBV in some VB script or similar

Not hard...

this is pretty much it, especially in this climate so many people are applying for the same position its just not possible. but just make the assumption that if they dont get back to you then you havent got the job

but what time frame do you give?
2 days?
2 weeks?
Dad keeps telling me to chase people...but then i'll look like a desperate cunt "hello,i applied for a job..did i get it"
"did we get back to you?"
"No"
"There's your answer"

See,if they got back with a simple"Sorry you didnt make it" it wouldn't be so bad

could be done in realbasic even, piece of piss to make and even easier to operate, sure i made something similar to that in my computing a level, would look all on my old computer

actually,you could probably set it up in Outlook
Just drag and drop unsuccessfully applicants to a folder,set it to do a send/receive every 10-15 mins and if there's anything in that folder,then it sends the No e-mail

Hell,if i can think of it why cant these company's faaakin do it?

you dont look desperate at all, you look keen and assertive

[josh1989]

this is true for jobs locally advertised, but those on e-mail applications from website adverts get so many through they aren't bothered

[M1VT]

true
but after time some places will just get fucked off,i know i would is people kept asking if they got thru the first stage...i'd make a nice e-mail rule up that auto reply's ;)

Yeah, exactly.

Exactly that, they say they ring you, but chasing them can be good, but you pretty much know the answer is gonna be exactly what you said;

" "hello,i applied for a job..did i get it"
"did we get back to you?"
"No"
"There's your answer"

come on people companies are not going to waste time(money) on telling people no.

an auto reply costs nothing but what 5 mins to set up?

[EazyDayz]

5mins here 5 mins there thats gonna be a few quid in wages ,
if you get no reply it a NO,
just gotta take it on the chin :D

[Jaytee]

Tbh most companys will only get back to you to tell you your unsuccesful if you get through to an interview stage.

[EazyDayz]

If you need to have experience and you apply and you have no experience, then they will just chuck the application in the bin :)

if you make it to interview they will say you have failed to pass

[Danr]

Must have been a seriously shit application.

[blackie_2k5]

my gfs just had a part time all through college and now shes finished she needs full time, her aunty got her the job she has now, shes sent out loads of c.vs etc and no one bothers to reply, quite shocking really but i already no this happens, just pisses me off really but shes getting quite upset anout the fact that theres not many jobs and no one even replies with a no to the ones you do apply for, luckily ive just been offred a new job today and cant wait to start but i know its hard for alot of others and must be really dis-heartening at the min if your unemployed

[sexy_gt]

im lucky to have a quality job but the misses is looking to better herself. constantly sending out c/v to local dental surgerys. never a reply. its soul destroying for her.

[Mr_X]

We had a job advertised, iirc it got 340-350 replies a week. We dont do computers and not everyone had an email, so its impossible to tell everyone sorry...
