Looking for jobs sucks…
Wow I have been applying for jobs since the weekend I was let go from my job, and to be perfectly honest, this sucks. The worst of it is that people take for ever to contact people, that is if they even decide to contact people. What is so hard about telling people you do not want them to work for you> We are always being taught in school that we have to be professional, but in my opinion the most unprofessional thing to do is to not tell someone: thank you for your time, but at the moment we are not interested in you. The least they can do is write, at least a NO.
I applied for the City of Houston jobs FOUR MONTHS AGO and I have not heard anything. I constantly check the website and it states that application is pending, but when it is not pending it is “filled”. What was so hard about contacting the applicants and telling them no. We have so much technology that the least people/ companies can do is send a mass e-mail telling people the position is filled. We have more and more technology, and people become more and more lazy. Isn’t that a contradiction for the purpose of technology?!
It makes me mad that people out there are ready to work and do something for this already sucky economy, and people act like this. Companies should me more responsible for their actions if they want things to look up. It is us that make these people who they are, we are the consumers… have they forgotten that.
I just want someone to tell me yes or no. Is that too much to ask for in this sucky economy?
I know what you are saying too – it is incredibly unprofessional and rude for companies to treat people like that. You definitely deserve better!
