Forums Forums Wirral Information Jobs - Training vacancies available

I dont understand some of you people. My son has just applied for a job through the internet, the company DID reply to say they had recieved his cv and that if he didnt hear from them in two weeks he wasnt sucessfull. Now its very rare that happens,and its nice to know that some appreciate you taking the time to apply.

It works other ways as well, i along with many others went for a internal interview the other week at work. We will let you no next week they said, two weeks later and no one has heard a thing. The story going round is some people where off so havent had their interview yet, but instead of e mailing to say what the hold up is nothing has been said .Its so fustrating all this hanging round wondering whats going on and i already work there.

I can see both sides to this. In January (just before the company I worked for went spectaculary bust in March) we advertised for an office junior. I received over 100 applications for this ranging from school leavers to university grads to redunadant accountants. I barely had time to read all of their CVs' let alone respond to them individually. I know how some of you feel about this but I genuinely didn't have the time.

I'm now on the other side of the fence and have applied for around 80 jobs since March. I think I've received 10 repsonses with about half of these being just an email acknowledgement of receipt of CV.

To be honest I don't really want to hear from them unless it's to offer me an interview, I think this is preferable to having a hard copy of 80 odd rejection letters!!
