Well, it has been interesting to say the least. You used to be able to walk into a business and ask for a job and 50% chance you would hear from them. Then, the applications were taken and held for a time period and you might hear from them. Now, you apply for jobs online and probably a 10% chance of hearing from them and some businesses want you to give them full access to your credit report before even talking to anyone. Now, I'm finding that you may leave a resume, but don't plan on doing a follow-up with the business, because so far I've found that managers do not take phone calls from anyone expect from the boss or venders.
So, all methods of looking for work has been changed to a point where the world is one Big Fat Unknown on figuring out how to find work. Worse, is not knowing the reasons why an able body who wants to work is never even called for even a simple phone interview. Both frustrating and confusing. I'm aware that I'm one of ?# who are applying for work, but not having something set up to confirm resumes have been received is lazy business. Out of the several dozen I've sent out, I've gotten a single (1) confirmation.
So, that leaves me with this one question; Has the employment status fallen back to "it's who you know!" ?
Thoughts?
