I'm Sick of the Lack of Respect!

OK! I am used to being rejected for jobs over and over again, I can understand if i don't exactly meet their criteria. I don't mind being told that I didn't get the job, I actually prefer if they do tell me.

This is what really pisses me off! I get a reply from about 2% of all job applications I apply for! It really gets on my nerves after a while considering I have applied for over 50 jobs and have heard back from only 4 employers!!!!!

As Joel Turner and the Modern Day Poets would say:

"Yo, I'm sick of the lack of respect that I get,
from these cats who think that they pose as a threat,
but they don't even know me,
yet they try and put me to the test,
thinking their on top of me, 'cause they got a bigger chest,
but I just sit back and let them guess,
half of wondering what I can do to them next,
they don't know what to expect,
I'm telling you now, it's not about success,
It's a fact we've all been blessed from the man upstairs,
but nobody cares, these people so quick to judge... some dudes are heartless.

It's time that some people started to show a little respect,
We all love it but we all represent,
We only have one life and we should live it to the end,
We should all have the opportunity to do our best."

I believe that song peferctly describes what I am feeling at the moment. For God's sakes, if you expect people looking for jobs to send you a fancy resume or CV as well as a cover letter and a reasonably long description on why we think we are good for the job, then I should think that you should at least take the time to send even the simplest of replies letting the unsuccessful applicants, know that they are unsucessful. It shouldn't bloody matter that they have already realised from the lack of response after the application closing date.

We are people you know, and we do have feelings (at least I know I do anyway). It would nice and respectful towards us if we got a reply from you stating why we didn't get the job. It may help our chances of getting our next job. We should not have to chase it up and find out by contacting you. It only takes a few minutes to set up an email template, if that's how you respond to applicants, or even print out some letters to post out. It is nice to know that our application was even looked at, let alone have been considered.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! I am so angry, I added music to my blog and it's a temporary version of the player! It will updated later!
