If you aren't hearing anything there is likely something on your resume turning them off quick.bitWISE wrote:Is it pretty common to not even hear from the potential employer? Over the last few months I've been applying for various entry-level programming jobs via monster.com and I'm getting pretty pissed off at the lack of common courtesy.
Is it really that hard for a recruiter to say something like "Thanks for submitting your resume. We will contact you shortly." or "We're sorry but you do not meet the requirements for this position."? Or am I doing something horribly wrong that makes people flat-out ignore me? I always follow their instructions exactly, email the person directly when possible and type out a cover-letter for each application.
I'd be happy to take a look at the resume and cover letter and give feedback (i'm not an expert in it, but I've helped a lot of people put together resumes and cover letters).

It is not a requirement for Human Resources of any company to send a response. Only a few do it as a courtesy.bitWISE wrote:Is it pretty common to not even hear from the potential employer?

Any chance you could sent my way? I'm pretty happy with my CV but it definitely wouldn't do me any harm to take some tips.duffman91 wrote:
My dad (Who works for the Department of Energy) gave me a resume format that made my call backs quadruple. If you want it, tell me where to send it.
If you send it then mail it to exolor ]at[ hotmail dot kom

I'm going on the hunt fairly soon here. However, where I am ( Alberta ), it's not hard to get a job within a few days.

I can e-mail you my resume if you'd like to see it..

Bingo. That and the fact new grads are competing with a lot of people who have the same credentials and far more experience. Its takes patience.stocktroll wrote:what do you expect?

I've e-mailed my resume to everyone that wanted to see the format.
I sent the wrong one to bitwise and dzjepp, check your e-mail again fellas.

Cheers mate, I might be able to use ideas from that to make my bullet points punchier, it also reminded me of some things I need to add.
I never thought to put UML in there even though I've covered that either

Thanks. That is pretty similar to what I have now but I do like the way you have much more detail about each skill.duffman91 wrote:I've e-mailed my resume to everyone that wanted to see the format.
