No, the "Dear Hiring Manager" letters are not back (yet), although McCrabby has had a few ideas thrown at him that could start a short series of them again sometime down the road. They were the most popular part of this blog (so they are listed again at the bottom here).
However, a reader recently sent a link to a website where YOU can ask someone to write the hiring manager for you.
The website is called: Email your Interviewer
Here is what they say at their site:
However, a reader recently sent a link to a website where YOU can ask someone to write the hiring manager for you.The website is called: Email your Interviewer
Here is what they say at their site:
"Interviewed for a job and then never heard back? No rejection, no anything? Let your interviewer know how rude that is — without burning any bridges.
You put hours into preparing for the interview. Maybe you buy a new suit. Maybe you drive several hours to get there, spending gas money you don't really have or taking a vacation day to do it. Then you sweat it out through the interview itself. They tell you that they'll notify you of their decision in a week. And then ... nothing. It's like you don't exist to them.
This behavior is inexcusable -- it's callous, dismissive, and rude. It's just not that hard to send a quick email, even a form letter, letting candidates know they're no longer under consideration.Employers owe interviewees a response, period.
To make matters worse, sane job seekers aren't going to call employers on their rude behavior, lest they burn bridges. So employers get to act like this with impunity, and the rare person who does complain is generally dismissed as naive or crazy, simply because no one else does it.
No longer.
Now here, presented to you by Ask a Manager: a service that job seekers can use to generate an anonymous letter to the employer, telling them how rude their silence is."They send an email letter anonymously, and include a sample at the website. Check it out; it's free..
