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?

    No, they go straight to spam and get deleted within 48hrs.

    I disagree with job seekers making speculative applications when no vacancies have been advertised and inundating businesses with unsolicited emails. Those looking for a job who send more than 2 emails or other unsolicited messages end up added to email blacklist.

    Find it just as annoying and even more inconsiderate than spammers bombarding people’s inboxes with unsolicited emails advertising dodgy diet pills or get rich quick online courses.
