Comment on My Seth Godin decline letter. Thoughts?parent

Comments

I've always either gotten either "We are pleased you interviewed but we are continuing the search" or no response at all.

The no response at all shit is lame. I've had that happen to me twice, and it's just rude. Even a curt form letter is better than simply discarding a person once a company decides they have no use for someone.

The worst one was when the HR person just couldn't seem to tell me or send an email. She kept delaying me telling that they hadn't decided yet, but she'd have an answer by such-and-such date. Eventually she just stopped returning calls.

I was at the point where it took me awhile (3 weeks?) to get the hint, desperately clutching to any sort of lead.
