All About Jobs

Do you think it’s rude not to advise people of the outcome of their job application?

It happens all the time. You apply for a job and then there is a huge void. You didn’t get an interview so you just assume that you didn’t get the job. Or you get an interview and that’s the last you hear.

I’m a bit old fashioned. I believe people should be advised of the outcome of their applications. Unfortunately, my business ethics are out of date in today’s business world. However, I didn’t let that bother me when I was recruiting. I always let applicants know what had occurred.

With email, which almost everyone has, it doesn’t take a lot of time or money to advise applicants of the status of their applications. It’s quick and effective and shows that you care.

I think it’s poor business practice not to advise people what the outcome of their application was? What do you think?
