Is it me or are employers totally rude these days?
I've been applying to local jobs (so the employers aren't getting bombarded with hundreds of emails) and they don't even acknowledge your application. I applied for one position that was advertised on a FB page that has a small audience and I hadn't heard from them either way in a month so sent a note asking if they received it and still no reply. Same with other companies too.
I used to work in recruitment and it is really rude to not acknowledge someone taking the time and effort to do their CV and a cover letter. I used to get 000's CV's for some jobs I advertised and although not ideal, I still had a standard letter that acknowledged their application was received and that we would be in touch if successful within 3 weeks.
During my previous role I actually wrote the best practise for the company WRT to hiring employees and how they should be treated in the process. Should I send them a copy?
