Why ask, Why

Why ask, Why Job seekers lament over the  lack of feedback employers and recruiters are providing.  They are faced with huge numbers of candidates, and not enough resources. But is that really an excuse? Then theres the risk of legal action. With so many things to consider, its important to keep your cool and realize, sometimes you just wont get the type of response you are looking for. If youve been actively job searching, this should come as no surprise.  One jobseeker sent me the following comment: The once again dismal job market improves the chances of employers just treating their candidates as the commodity without needing or desiring to use even a modicum of proper business like treatment. I truly empathize with those frustrated by lack of feedback or any communication from employers to whom they have interviewed with or sent their resumes.   But on the other hand, who said we were supposed to hear back?    Ok, after an interview, Ill agree, the employer should let you know if you are still being considered, but they dont have to let you know why  you are not a fit.   What would you do with that information anywaychange your personality?   I dont think so. Job Fit is not a science.   Personality is certainly a component, so  are communication style, values and priorities.   We just dont get along with everyone and who really wants to work for someone they dont like? Let me ask this- would you be able to tell an employer exactly why you decided not to accept a jobor exactly why you are leaving a job? If you are smart, you know to keep your reasons general- arent you protecting your reputation?   So whats the difference? One of lifes  lessons is to accept that we cannot change things we have no control over.      Learn what you can,  and move forward!
