[13''strong]

Tuners share your views on this topic....what do you say about these job vacancies that these companies are putting in the newspapers ...you as the applicant apply especially when you know you meet all the requirements that they desire ....and yet here you are still waiting on a call....i wanna know if someone else understands my POV .??

[Bizzare]

Are you of the belief that you're the only one who met all of the requirements??

[crazybalhead]

13", do you think a list of requirements is all that is necessary fro a call back?

[1UZFE]

Some companies must post openings in the public. But as we all know they done have they people, but it is policy to publicly post openings.

Do you?

^This

If you understand what Bizzare said then whats your complaint?

If the company receives 50 applicants and goes through that list... then short lists to the top 10 applicants. Guess what? No call? You didn't make the cut, so why waste money to call you just to say... im sorry you don't make it.

What if 100 people apply and 1 is selected, are they suppose to call the 99?

Seriously?

[crazybalhead]

13", if you cannot understand that it is not a waste of time to try, I c an't help you.

I think that'll fall in my garden..

It depends so many factors, even something as simple as the format of your resume can be a determinant.

Many many things, which can include presentation, ability to follow instructions (eg. if they ask for a resume and u send a CV, you disqualify yourself), even which envelope they open first.
As much as we would all appreciate it, employers don't owe you or anybody the courtesy of a rejection letter.

It's not about wasting YOUR time, it's about not wasting theirs.

If I say what I really want to say to the OP, I might get ban. Clearly you lack basic understanding and generalisation.

[starlinejobs]

We literally go through 100's of brown envelopes a week and a few days ago someone sent a green envelope. That was the first one that was looked at out of the batch..

OP Just letting you what happens on the other side

padna it seems like yuh get blank on a prospective job that u really wanted. My advice to u, is that continue studying and keep yuh head up. Believe me without the right connects job hunting is hell...

In the entry level I don't think professionalism to that extent would be a factor though. I've seen managers etc use a well presented resume to make calculations on while the guy who sent his resume in an old ttpost envelope gets called in.
When all applicants have basically met the requirements, gender, level of sexiness, race, personality during interview, etc can sometimes be the deciding factors for who gets chosen for what position.
Remember is human being interviewing you/ reading your CV.

P.S. Life is unfair.

OP. Good advice here. You may also need to refine ur CV. Depending on ur level of education and ur field, an employer may not be interested in ur secondary school grades or ur hobbies (listening to music, reading, blah blah). 2cents

actually most of the interviews I've been to they asked me about hobbies, employers don't want a bookworm drone, they want a well rounded individual who can not only work but also be sociable

[AllTrac]

how allyuh so hard on de man, job hunting is never easy, especially if you broke, it can be stressful and depressing. Give him some advise or whatever help you can offer nah, ollur not nice.

Anyway, redo your cv, have it hand delivered if possible and dont put all your eggs in one basket.

Yup true. Its not the same all round. For my last job, the interview process was in 3 phases. First was to do a design and recommendation based on case study, second was in front a panel and it was more along the typical interview lines and the last step was with HR only. OP just keep at it hoss.
