Is a single "You don't get the job" that hard? Rejection hurts.
>>29851630
Yes, yes it is. You wouldn't believe the amount of applications that go through HR of any reasonably-sized company, and giving all of them serious consideration and a reply would generate more pointless busywork and traffic than anyone cares to deal with.
Assume that it's a straight 'no' if you do not receive a confirmation email within ten working days of the application closing, and don't stop and wait, just keep applying until something sticks.

I saw a graph about the average time it takes between sending out an application and getting invited to a job interview in first-world countries.
USA is currently the fastest with under 25 days I think, France and Germany take the longest with up to 35 days
There are too many suitable candidates for any conceivable position, except those rare, obscure jobs that make mad bux but nobody told you they even exist so you never considered them and now at 28 you can't get the training because there's a steady supply of younger people and it makes no sense to invest another 2-3 years into you
Wow. I'm 3 for 3 in the last month.
I've got a friend who was as useless as you and his trick was to apply to every single place around that was hiring and then sort through them after he got the callbacks. Give that a shot.

That'll show them

It's ok fampai. It gets much worse.
I wish I could see the resume of the guy they hired every time you don't get the job. They could black out all the personal data etc I don't care, but it frustrates me to no end that you never get any feedback on why you didn't get the job. I have no idea whether I'm overqualified, underqualified, completely useless, or if my field is just saturated and I shouldn't overanalyze etc
Is it me? Is it them? How do I rank compared to other applicants?
I feel like this post is already proof that I have legit autism

>Is a single "You don't get the job" that hard?
Yes. We advertised an opening online at the store I used to manage. Got over 600 applicants for a fucking meme tier junior sales assistant position with less than 15 hours a week. It was enough work going through all of those and just narrowing it down to people that weren't completely awful. Responding to each and every one would have been a spectacular waste of time, hence why they generally say, "only successful/shortlisted applicants will be contacted."

Sounds like something from a Dilbert cartoon.

That's because Dilbert is way too fucking real. I used to laugh at these, then I finished college. I'm becoming more and more like him, and my aspiration in life is to be like Wally.

I see your point but an automated e-mail response would be nice. Most applications have some online segment so it would be fairly easy to implement. I think it should be law that after 6 weeks they have to send you something.

>>29853229

>>29853243
I must have a pussy for an eye because colored contacts irritates it to the point of constantly weeping involuntarily. Eyepatch or bust ugly.

Retinal detachment when I was 4. Color is a result of lack of oxygenated bloodflow which caused the mispigmentation.

This requires to set up, implement, and update an entire goddamn subsystem that will fuck with your email traffic, to absolutely no benefit for the company.
I mean yeah, it's not the most sensitive thing to do, but it is logical. You will not work for the company, so why should they incur additional operating costs for your sake?

Dude, you're already black, bald, and one-eyed. You need a goddamn beard and you're set for life.
>>29853374
Also this.
Not to mention you really should be attaching cover letters and tailoring each application to the desired position.
Jesus. It sounds like unpaid work to maybe get paid for more work, innit. Just fucking... I have no idea. Get a technical skill or a trade. Learn to art. Fuck office jobs.
