Re: Jobs



And what about those jobs you apply for, and then don't hear anything for 3 or
4 months?  And then they call you up and ask if you are still interested!!!  Oh
yea, I've been sitting by the phone for the past four months waiting for you to
call (not).  And then they act shocked that you would actually LOOK for other
employment after sending your resume to them.

 Having recently gone through a job search, it seems about 50/50 as to whether
or not an organization will even acknowledge receiving your resume.  Talk about
a lack of proper etiquette.  Some places were great, and let you know where you
stood during the whole process, but others.....
