I’m sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.
How the hell do people get jobs online? I’ve only ever landed a job in person.
I wasted 4 months of my life trying exactly that to apply for Lowe’s. I not only called twice a week, I also drove there and back, twice a week, 12 miles there and 12 back.
So, looking past my wasted time on the phone, 24 miles twice a week is 48 miles a week. For about 4 months.
48 miles * 16 weeks ≈ 768 miles of wasted travel, just to nag them and try as so many others have suggested to just be persistent.
It didn’t get me any fucking where. Fuck, it cost me more to try nagging them than if I would have just sat on my ass.
Do you like, not know that there’s other places to apply to? Maybe your resume wasn’t attractive. Again, you are competing against people whose resumes and experience could outweigh yours. It isn’t just you that could be applying.
The last time I sent a resumé in, it was on indeed.
My resumé reflected my history of electronics repair.
AT&T contacted me. I don’t know fuckall about cellular services, and my previous employers made fucking sure I never learned, by compartmentalizing.
I was the soldering technician that can solder wires about the thickness of a human hair and reball nVidia GPU chips. WTF does that have anything to do with cellular services?
