I hope he gets something too Lemon. If he puts different type of job searches on differnt site he'll get a much wider choice of jobs he can go for.

He'll get something soon.

All very well, but it would be even more well if the employers and agencies bothered to reply to a CV. Disgusting the amount who are snubbing job applicants now.

companies are getting on average 200 applicants PER JOB, to shortlist that to 10 interviewees, with all the paperwork that involves, try doing more peperwork to tell 190+ others they were unlucky, hence why in the job descriptions/ads it generally says "if you haven't heard from us by such a date, presume you were rejected" or something along them lines.

There isnt much paper work involved in letting people know by e mail. In my book if people take the time to apply then the company should show some manners and say, thanks for taking the time to apply but in this instance you werent successful.
Its bad enough when you get a no, but MUCH worse when you nothing at all.

I agree totally Sue, I've watched my 3 daughters all going through this situation, there is nothing worse than sitting waiting for a response and getting nothing.
Most places let you apply by sending your CV via e-mail so why can't they just click reply to your e-mail, even if it is a thanks but no thanks !!

It still takes time to send 100's of emails out, which has to be done by someone who could be doing something else. Time is money and all that jazz.

If it says "if you don't hear by xx/xx/xxxx, you've been unsuccessful" then that's enough really.

JMPO of course smile

Just 200 applicants per job? I would have thought it was considerably more than that - more like 500+ per job! I have lost count of all the jobs I have applied for and have rarely received a reply. Disgusting!

Jobneeded76, There is no way any company will reply to all unsuccessful applicants, its a waste of their time and resources and could go against an ISO accreditation they may have achieved for being a GREEN Company.

Its common sense that if you haven't heard within 14 days of the closing date then you haven't got the Job. You shouldn't need, or even deserve, a letter informing you of yet another rejection. Just get on with more applications, or do what Nethanderthal man had to do - Go and bring your own Meat home and don't expect it on a plate.

There are no manners in business unless it benefits the business itself. Why should they respond and add to their already growing expenses just to be polite? when all you are to them is a bit of paper and after reading the bit paper they feel you unfit for the role you applied for anyway.... Get with it its 2012.
