"Ten green candidates hanging on your call,
Ten green candidates hanging on your call,
And if one green candidate should actually get the job
There'll still be nine green candidates hanging on your call"
I am sure I am saying what has been said by many before; looking for a new job stinks.
In my previous blog Tick Tock Tick Tock I have already spoken about the fact that employers tend not to get back to people - past the candidates that actually get hired.
Recruitment Consultants are great as they do the leg work and get you feedback - but I still feel that it is best to apply in person. That can lead to more and more rejections or just a an open expanse of nothingness apart from the occasional ball of tumbleweed.
Looking for a job from a job is a different kettle of fish as we have "all the time in the world"; but when you are gainfully unemployed you find yourself waiting on a call, a message, an email, ANYTHING.
All I am saying is:
If you say you are going to get back to someone then it is only right that you do.
In this day and age of easy communication we can drop a text, or a one-line email to a candidate to say they have been unsuccessful - if they have been for an interview it is the least they deserve.
We are all busy people; but courtesy should always prevail.
