Out of the 40+ applications I’ve sent out so far, I’ve only received one rejection letter. I just assume that if I haven’t heard back from them, I’ve been rejected. I guess it saves them time.
Which reminds me of another reason. When I started work, we had one secretary/admin for about 20 people. Now we have one for about 150. Then two or three first level supervisors shared one, now only a VP gets one. A manager then could draft a rejection letter and get the admin to send it out, now he/she has to do it when no doubt suffering from being short handed. I suspect federal judges have not lost administrative support in the past 20 years, and I bet DAs have.
I’ve gotten them… unfortunately.
The most memorable though came from a religious institution via email with the subject line: “REJECTED”
Wow… makes ya want to jump in and join that church. =P
