Dear Applicant, I Don’t Think You Really Wanted That Job! by rodeo0070(m): 2:55pm On Jul 07, 2014 |
Unemployment is everywhere, they say. Jobs are not available, they cry. People only hire people they know, they lament. We didn't stand a chance, they chorus. Well here’s my reply to you, dear applicant. Dear Applicant, You applied for a job and I called you for a phone interview but you never picked up your phone and you never called back. Did you think I was a stalker or your little nephew asking for money again? I don’t think you really wanted that job! Dear Applicant, I advertised a vacancy and requested that people send in CVs. Your email arrived with a cover letter in the body of the mail. I was really impressed and could not wait to view your CV. There was only one problem. You forgot to attach the CV. I did the unthinkable… I replied your email asking you to attach your CV and you did not reply me until the next day, without an apology. In any case, it was already too late. I don’t think you really wanted that job! Dear Applicant, I advertised a vacancy and requested that people send in CVs. Your email arrived with an attachment but no subject nor message. All I saw in the body of the email was ‘Sent from my Blackberry Smartphone’ I don’t think you really wanted that job! Dear Applicant, I advertised a vacancy and requested that people send in CVs. Your email arrived forwarded from the last place you sent it to. And PS, there was no attachment. I don’t think you really wanted that job! Dear Applicant, I advertised for a vacancy and requested that people send in CVs. Your email came in with a short cover letter telling me how qualified you were for the role. You said your CV would convince me beyond all reasonable doubt that you were the one for the position. I opened your CV expecting soo much…. and I didn’t find one word that qualified you as right for the position. I even used Ctrl F to search for the keyword in the role and came up blank. I don’t think you really wanted that job! Dear Applicant, You were invited for an interview and you arrived slightly late but in good time. I interviewed you and to be frank, you were OK. The only problem was…. You were dressed in a micro mini skirt and had huge false eyelashes. In my humble opinion, I don’t think you really wanted that job! I really would love to take a stab at reducing unemployment but job seekers make it so difficult for anyone to help them. And so this is me venting and pleading….. Prove to me that you really want that job! Signed, Hiring Manager.

Lol. The post mentions some of the mistakes applicants make in while drafting their CVs, in their applications and job interviews. Not all prolonged joblessness is caused by the 'Gandalf' of your father's village. Simple mistakes like the ones mentioned in the op might cost some us that dream job. Mods fp please. Seun, mukina2, mynd44 pls do the needful |

Will you STFU! Dear Mr HR, Courtesy demands you tell people whether they were successful or not in your last test/interview. But what do they get, . . . Silence. . . Very unprofessional. Grow a new heart, cos most of you are heartless, Learn to leave people better than you met them cos Rome wasn't built in a day. Thank you for your co operation. 7 Likes |

snadguy007:They only talk about what the applicant didn't do right forgetting they don't even know what their job is in the first place. Its high time people start telling them their own weaknesses. |

Oxone:Spot on. Many job seekers use such pessimist statements as excuse for inaction and mediocrity. Yet, their colleagues are getting the so called jobs even without connections or outstanding grades. |

Dear recruiter, i applied for your opening via your email with my CV and cover letter. I pass your tests and interview after which I waited for ages but didn't get any response from you nor any apologies stating you have lost every data concerning my application or any other reason you never called me. I don't think you really need my service. 2 Likes |
