I get a ton of unsolicited emails asking for a job. They’re always from very qualified people, I just can’t hire everybody.
I happened to mention this to, of all people, my mother (a retired librarian who helps out now at my business) and she said I should answer every email even if I’m not interested because it’s the professional thing to do.
Do you agree?
The local job centre requires unemployed people to seek work. The job centre gets them to spend time writing letters asking for jobs. I get so many. Some posted. Some by email. Many have poor English or poor handwriting etc. They all get ignored because otherwise the amount we receive goes up dramatically. These people are given task lists which include things like sending out cvs and applying for jobs….which are either oversubscribed or totally unsuitable for the job seeker.
My mum posts jobs in the local shop window now….she will never tell the job centre about anything because she had thousands apply and nobody turned up for interview.
