I have not really done a job hunt post since the one about rejection. No, I am still not liking the passive rejections of the modern HR environment. I think it is rude and silly. I mean really all you need is a 3 sentence mail form to send out via email. How hard is that! But that is not what I talking about today.
Today is about letting people know that their resumes have been received. On lost job listings I find the nice little line "no phone calls, please." That is fine, if you send a confirmation of receipt. It annoys me to no end when they do not want you to call but will also not send a confirmation. I hate calling them. Yet, it is the only avenue I have to confirm they received my information. It is something very simple to do that relieves so much stress for the job seekers.
Example:
Meg,
