We've all been there. You spot a great role, spend time writing a covering letter, tailoring it to the application, polishing your resume & then in a peek of excitement you send it off full of hope.
A shortwhile back there's an email in your system. "Dear X, thank you for applying, we have received your application & will be in touch shortly"
Well that email was of course an automatic reply & somebody at the other end will review your resume & then may send you a rejection email (of course a pre built template) or the lucky few a call & an interview.
On the other side sits the hiring manager & the recruiter. The hiring manager believes that the recruiter is checking the applications coming in & being dealt with, while the recruiter who has dozens of open positions believes the hiring manager is reviewing.
In fact, neither has reviewed and 120 applicants in 8 weeks are sitting at home, chewing their finger nails, probably bitching on internet forums about how crap the application process is & possibly considering a contract in Germany. Then months after they've applied they eventually receive that email 'Sorry, but having reviewed you are not qualified enough'. Tossers hey?
I really must check my email more.
