I’m sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.

How the hell do people get jobs online? I’ve only ever landed a job in person.

    This is the correct way to do it. Even when I was hiring, I much preferred opening Quick Apply positions. I don’t want to waste your time either (and I sure as hell am not reading cover letters)

      This is oddly comforting. So many websites and opinion articles push the idea of painstakingly tailoring a resume, then hunting down the listing on the website and re-filling in that same resume twice.

      On top of that they make you feel like you’re the problem when that doesn’t work and you’ve wasted three hours of your time to maybe get rejected six weeks later.

      Thank you for being honest. This will save a lot of time and stress going forward. /gen
