Its refreshing to see that there are members on here who do understand how soul destroying it is trying to get a job, even a interview or any kind of response from employers when you have taken the time and trouble TO ANSWER THEIR JOB VACANCY.

Most employers know that in this day and age that they are going to get lots of people applying, so why dont they just say if you dont hear from us by the so and so date you have not been successfull, easy really.
It seems that common sense and decency along with respect is very much lacking in our society these days.
Believe me, as its happening now in some jobs, in years to come no one will be getting paid for doing their jobs as very one will be a volunteer worker and the only ones being paid will be the fat cat bosses.

My son sent off 35 C'V's two weeks ago and hasn't heard a thing frown he is only 17 so with no experience it's worse for him. He is willing to do anything (his words) He is working voluntary for my brother on occasions to gain experience and is also in the Police Cadets but even that doesn't seem to help him. Times are hard so those being negative really have no idea about the real world frown

And do YOU know what YOU are putting ME through with your cold-hearted, shallow, insensitive comments?

You - and all the other ineffably unsympathetic posters here - have probably never known what it is like to be out of work. Thus, as such, you just regard all unemployed people as stereotypical moaners.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Hi stuiecool. You made some good points there (all you narrow-minded moaners at us unemployed, take note!). Very sorry to hear about your girl's unfortunate experience after her job interview. I think it is disgusting when these employers don't even have the decency to reply, especially when want feedback too. Sadly, this detestable, inconsiderate practice seems to be coming more and more prevalent these days. Makes you hate these employers, doesn't it?

If there were not so many people out of work, they could not afford to be so choosy.

Rachrads, very sorry to hear about your son. And yes, you are right about those negative ones on here who don't seem to understand what the unemployed go through. They should get real!

Your posts are kinda proving us right ..

Must suck that you aren't working but constant threads moaning about the same thing over and over are just really annoying.

Yes, most companies don't reply to CV/failed applicants. It sucks, we've all been there. Get over it and keep sending them out.

your statement

"They should get real!"
is so out of place yes I for one do sympathise over your lack of employment Jobneeded but do you honestly realise how much PAIN you are causing to others out of work and SEARCHING for work with your constant yes constant moaning about the lack of forthcoming jobs, the lack of replies you are not getting,its 2011 not 1970's in the 70's employers did reply but times have changed. Try to think of all those unemployed people searching who do not need to read your moans.
To all those people of all employable ages searching for work I say good luck to you all and hope you find something soon
rant over.

I spent 3 months on Jobseekers allowance, and in that time I applied for over 200+ jobs, and heard back from about 6 of them. I think it's really bad how employers dont get back to people that have applied. My father is a manager and I know he goes through each CV with a fine toothed comb, and I know he emails everyone that sends applications in.

I do wish other managers and employers would make contact, but then again - it only shows the company have no respect - and would you want to work for them knowing that???

After such a positive post all that remains is for me to post
the 'Samaritans' phone number for jobneeded and all the other depressed and demoralised job seekers.

Samaritans 08457 90 90 90

Quote
For callers who can’t afford the cost of a call, Samaritans accept reverse charge calls from landline and mobile telephones and also from telephone call boxes. Additionally, callers can also ask us to call them back and then the cost of the call is paid for by Samaritans.

Gothic Angel, your father deserves a big, appreciating pat on the back for being so respectful and considerate when perusing CVs. It is only good manners to treat job applicants so.

Pity other employers didn't follow his example. If they did, there would be less cause to complain on this forum, and the bears-with-sore-heads (thankfully, a small minority) would have less cause to shout down poor, unemployed people!
