I’m sick and tired of seeing ads posted online that say to call so and so for a position and then when you call, the person refuses to speak to you.  His/her personal assistant asks for your name and number and says you will be called back.  I’ve gotten to the point in which I actually say:  “I hear that all the time.  Will so and so ACTUALLY call me back?”  The person says:  “Well, I’m taking all her calls and I think she’ll get back to you.”  Well, if I don’t hear back in a day or two, I’m going to call to follow-up.  Wouldn’t them asking you to send a resume/cover letter be more effective than asking people to call you at a number and then you refusing to speak to them?

Just had to vent…

You would think a call would be better than the endless pit of resumes they receive that wind up never being read! I really have come to the point that if i am going to apply for a job i am going to walk into the place and give them my info in person along with doing it online.
