It can be so defeating and frustrating when you have spent
tons of time applying to an organization and then not to hear anything
back. Students applying for internships
and jobs tend to think: Did my email get lost? Was my resume awful? Are they rude
people? Why did the recruiter tell me to E-Mail them, and then not respond?
In this day and age, even though I am not applying for jobs
it still shocks me when people do not respond to E-Mail. In my opinion, it is a professional
courtesy; unless of course, you are trying to sell me something or E-Mail me
daily. In that situation, do not expect
to hear from me!
E-Mail can be tricky, and recruiters many times try their
best to respond to applicants even if it is an automated E-Mail saying they received
your application or message. Mashable.com recently posted a smart and short article by Adrian J.
Hopkins entitled “Why no one has responded to your E-Mail.” In the end, keep your chin up and keep
applying. The more you put out there the
more you increase your chances of getting a response!
