Got my feedback from my application form, she was really quite nasty about it. Listed off a list of things I could have said and didn't and said nothing nice at all... felt like telling her where to go...Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.0

I don't understand why people have to be like that, Maybe your better off not working for them.0 -

There is no need to be so horrible about it. I'm the first to say I want the bad feedback more than the good but her attitude was just nasty. I actually thought it was a good application too, shows what I know! :rotfl:Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.0 -
I contacted an employer for feedback last week and she told me "we have hundreds of applicants and I do not have time to look through them all to find yours!" I decided that it was probably a good thing that I was not offered the job as I could not have been polite everyday to someone that rude!0

Good afternoon.
Found two jobs to apply for this morning, one looked a bit scammy to me but we shall see. I'll probably hear nothing back, I'm sure all my applications go into an application form black hole somewhere, as I never hear back from 99.9% of them.
Think I'm going to sent a new batch of spec letters out tomorrow. More often than not though it's just a waste of stamps.

I do think these people have absolutely no idea what it is like to be unemployed and desperately seeking work! I would love feedback, especially from the jobs where I have spent hours completing an application form, taking my time to explain how I meet everyone of the requirements on the person spec.0 -
Hi all!
I'm not having much luck at the moment. I went to visit the company yesterday at their office for a chat about the work placement. The manager seemed a bit off and pretty distant.....she could barely shake my hand! Not too sure what to make of it. Maybe I wasn't what they were expecting and if thats the case then so be it. They said they would contact me but I highly doubt it.
I also missed a call from an unknown number about 30 mins but they left no message. Probably wasn't that important even though you can't stop wondering if its to do with a job opportunity.0 -
