i believe all the applications being taken are being done so by internet savy people to obtain your information to rob in the future. have any of you other people noticed places hiring more than once and still not even bother talking to you? something wrong is in the midst as it seems a good portion of the people working, are the ones you would think wouldn’t have a job. I even had a job with a guy who didn’t need the money because he sucked off his parents after losing his previous job from being a meth addict. he didn’t NEED the money and he didn’t work for shit but still got full time hours and treated great while me and someone else in NEED didn’t get shit and did ALL the work.

I am a hiring manager at a very small biotech firm. I recently put together a local (DFW only) ad that went up on only the local paper. Within days I had 9487 resumes many with PhD’s from hundreds of universities across the country. I have no way to respond to these. Is the economy really that abd that there are nearly 10,000 research scientists with advanced biotech degrees out of work?

I have experienced no response from tons of businesses. I recently traveled 500 miles by plane to interview for a job. After the interview the manager said to me privately in a soft voice, “they liked you”, saying she would call me soon, hugging me, as warm as could be! They kept saying how good my answers were in the interview. One of my references said all the wonderful things she said about me. Another reference she had trouble reaching until my friend was nice enough to call long distance to speak with her and she said, “I have all the information I need”. No call,no email! I left 2 voice mails, still no call, no email! I have had other people I have interviewed with act super interested and nice and then no response, but this last encounter was the final straw! Can anyone respond to this experience? The golden rule is not followed and common courtesy is not adhered to!

I have been applying for positions, and while some employers have courteous enough to let me know I wasn’t selected for an interview (JP Morgan, and Citibank), others don’t reply *at all*. I mean, seriously. Please let me know if I’m over-qualified or under-qualified.

I am a college graduate pursuing my Masters now and I’m trying to find entry-level work. It makes me feel as if I’m doing something wrong or my resume isn’t good enough.

I’ve recently experienced not hearing back from 2 different companies.

Most recently I interviewed for a position at a company and have yet to hear back from them. It’s interesting because three years ago I interviewed for another position at the same company and I never heard from them. Even more rediculous is the fact that part of their business is recruiting. The other company told me that they would contact me to let me know where I stood and I never heard from them.
