I’ve never grovelled for a job, and I’m not starting now.
Feed him to the orphan crushing machine
Thank you email? Do employers make house visits or take you out for dinner when interviewing in the US?
You didn’t say thank you to someone who gave you the opportunity to be considered for having your surplus value extracted? For shame, SHAME I say.
Ya pass
The fuck? I interview people frequently. The thank-you email is nice, but definitely not required. I’d never write someone off because they didn’t send me a thank-you email. Geez.
If you had two very close candidates, and one sent you a followup email making their case specific to the job, that wouldn’t sway you?
Industry dependent I know but every time I’ve had two good candidates I’ve just gone ahead and hired both
That’s definitely not a common thing, unless you’re fielding a new team or division. There is a limit though, yeah? So it could be a deciding factor even when hiring multiple positions from the same pool of candidates.
Every thank you letter I’ve sent wasn’t a thank you letter at all. I call back to specific things the interviewer said during our interview, and make it one last opportunity to pitch myself as the best candidate.
Dear Assface,
I’m writing to thank you. Not for the interview. For making a stupid post on a job site that you treat as social media. You are clearly deranged. I know that I don’t want to work for you or with you or anywhere near you. Thank you for making that clear to me. Suck a fuck.
Best, some_guy
Why do all these shitheads want to be my mommy and daddy as well as my employer? I bet this moron is one of those alpha MAGA types who rails against the nanny state but loves being cuckolded and spanked in literally every other context. Fucking weirdos.
as a switch, there is nothing at all wrong with enjoying spanking or being spanked.
I have yet to see any place with a good hiring procedure, this nonsense included. People saying they work in HR should generally be looked at as if they just admitted to being in a cult, which is terrifying because it means cultists will be deciding whether you get to do the thing you do to keep from starving in the street.

I’ve never heard it described like this but you nailed it.

I mean, what else do you have to evaluate a resume and some thinly sourced references except chicken entrails and prayer? It’s not exactly a hard science.
It’s all part of the test I guess. No need to get angry, it’s just part of the game and we are usually not the ones setting up the rules.
Not until you succeed at the game that isThose that send a thankyou email fail the test and have to work for that guy.
shut the fuck up marco
On the other side…
I’m so dead sick of those “thank you for applying, you are so awesome and amazing! But we went with another guy” emails
The alternative is to not know, I don’t care if they send a nicely worded rejection over ghosting.
A lot of bitter job-hunters in this post.
I hope.youre including yourself.
I’d rather have that email than being ghosted by the company you applied at. Which happens more often than not.
What do you want to read if you were really good, but the other candidate was a touch better? Do you really want to receive a “fuck you” letter?
At least it’s something to let you know. I got down to a final 2 interview and haven’t heard anything from the company in a week even though I thought I had pretty good chances. I’d rather take a wishy washy answer over no answer at all.
I might be old school but I see nothing wrong with a little politeness, especially if it gets my foot in the door. But then again, I’m not going to continually kiss someone’s ass for what should be a mutually beneficial situation.
A lot of the people jerking their knees at these “rituals” we do have never been in the position of actually having to hire someone.
Whatever your principles and attitude might be now, if you get into a role that requires you to make good decisions on who you’re paying a ton of company money to, with your ass riding on it, you WILL adjust your ideas for how to make the best decisions.

Capitalism is a sickness.
Someone having big ego and some kind of hierarchy is present in all systems. Such are humans
You just need to get it to work for you - narcissists are easily taken advantage of. Be crafty, do not give up to learned helplessness and this will turn into an opportunity
Give them what they want and stab them in the back later when your position is solid
You can hate someone but don’t let it make you miserable
Perpetuate that cycle, amirite? Fight narcissism with sociopathy!
