Applied for a job 6months ago, Had no reply do you think i didn`t get lucky?

Question

I feel so much better now with all of these wonderful suggestions .

Answer 1

The last job interview I went to really annoyed me.

Some self righteous a hole asked me to justify nearly every decision I made in my life from my CV.

Then he asked me to justify why they should hire me.

I told him this:

I was prepared to devote a huge chunk of my life to this institution. For all I know this life is all we have that makes my time very precious to me. Every minute I spend here is a minute away from the ones I love. I would expect a little more appreciation of that and value for the sacrifice I am preapred to make... I think maybe there are other opportunities for me that would be better candidates.

Thank you for your time and good bye.

Went back home... scratched my head and began starting my own business.

Answer 2

How many of you don't read the questions that someone posts?...Most of you obviously..otherwise, you wouldn't send
mean and nasty comments to people..
He says, applied for a job 6 months ago, Had no reply, do you think I didn't get lucky?..
My answer would have to be, chances are?..You found a much better job than the one who didn't bother to reply, as that is how it usually works out...

Answer 3

Certain organisations take a very long time to process your applications. This depends on the requirements they have. E.g., they may need to carry out extensive police and background checks.

Most likely, though, if you have applied for a "normal" job, then you have been sadly unlucky. In this case, there is no harm in getting back to the company and asking for feedback. You can say "why didn't I get it?", and use this information for future applications.

The best thing with job applications is to be thick-skinned. Don't take rejections to heart; there is always someone out there with the correct skills and experience. On the other hand, there is always a job out there that you are perfect for. This can take many months to find.

Good luck with your job hunt!

Answer 4

Applying for jobs has nothing to do with luck. You need to be aggressive and persistent. Almost nobody gets a job by just dropping off an application and waiting. You need to hand-deliver the application to the manager personally, and request an interview. If that doesn't work, you can always call them up to remind them you're still interested in the job.

Answer 5

It is the general policy not to reply to job applicants these days.
It is known as rudeness. Companies are lazy, where no profit is involved they just don't care. No Dear Sir or Madam. No your faithfully or sincerely, no replies to job applications-Its all gone to pot.

Answer 6

think you should move on
usually if they interviewed you then youll get a phonecall or letter but if you havent been shortlisted usually you wont hear anything
but you never know, i just got a letter from one saying theres a gonna be a slight delay and to be patient while they sort out a few problems.
they might keep your CV anyway

Answer 7

Sorry did you not get our letter? Bloody Post Office! You weren't successful on this occasion Im afraid. Try again in a few more months ;-)

Answer 8

Almost certainly. Some employers don't do unsuccessful applicants the courtesy of letting them know. It's rude, but sadly the way it goes sometimes.

Answer 9

I think the propper PC term is "you didn't get a no", but luck isn't something that enters into it they either liked you or didn't unfortunetly they are not polite enough to let you know

Answer 10

Well just guessing but it dont sound like you did they usually contact you within 1-2 weeks if you do have it
