New Pet Peeve....

I'm about to start breaking up the joint like Luke Cage.
Ok, so I've found a new pet peeve. Something that is more aggravating than sand in your swim trunks. It's companies who don't reply AT ALL when you send an e-mail for a job that they have posted. I can cut a company some slack if you're just cold calling them or sending a resume out of the blue - I get that. But if a company has posted a "help wanted" sign and you respond to said sign - send a brother an e-mail back would you??? I mean come on! Send me something that says I'm not qualified. Send me something that says, "how dare you even consider applying for this position, moron!" Just send me SOMETHING. I've got a thick skin I can take it. Heck, how hard can it be to set up an automated response that shoots out an e-mail saying, "We received your resume. Thanks for applying"? I keep sending myself "TEST" e-mails just to make sure my account is working. I call to follow up and all I get is voice mail and then no one calls back. It's almost as aggravating as people who offer you the freelance job and then don't get back to you for months saying, "we're still trying to figure out the assignment, but hang tight - we'll let you know." It's been 3 months of this and I'm about ready to lose it. If you're sick and tired of it too - send me an e-mail at thestevejohn@yahoo.com. I'm pretty busy though- I may not get back to you...
