Email Job Applications
Email Job Applications
A common complaint that I receive from job seekers is that they don’t get responses to their e-mail employment applications. There are two aspects to this concern:
* Not sure that the e-mail application was delivered
* Can’t understand why they didn’t get to the next step of the recruitment process
The first point is more of a logistics issue. I used to think that it was trivial for employers to have automatic responses to e-mail job applications acknowledging receipt. Now though, after getting this question so often from job seekers, I wish that all companies would implement some form of automatic receipt of the application, to give peace of mind to candidates (and those that work at Internet job sites).
