[QUOTE="xmikex:1205248"][QUOTE="ouchdrummer:1205206"]My manager recently told me that after reading someone's resume, he would not return ANY of their calls, until the 5th time they had reached him. He said that if they weren't willing to keep trying, then they weren't the right people for his team.... [/QUOTE] That is absolutely retarded. 5 tries? You've got to have an ego visible from space to justify that. For the record I've tried this multiple ways. I've done it the be polite and just send a follow up email way. And I've definitely done it the email, call, email, call, email, call, call, call, call route. Neither one has fool proof results. More of then than not the latter of the 2 just ends up pissing people off. I had one instance where an employer contacted me and asked me to come in for an interview. They blew off 2 of my emails, and when I called their office and asked to speak with the woman who had emailed me the receptionist asked my name and for real started laughing when I told her. Needless to say, I never got on the phone with the woman. For the job I have now, I had 2 interviews in 2 weeks with them. Then they took 2 or 3 months to get back to me. I emailed and never heard back from anyone. I called them, and no one was ever around. Finally a receptionist told me that they had been too busy (surprise surprise because they were short a guy) to make a decision on it. [QUOTE="AndrewBastard"]the reason they dont get back to you is because they are receiving 34809834209238 resumes these days. [/QUOTE] I get that. Emailing your resume to someone you've never met or talked to and never hearing back is one thing. Anyone who sits there thinking the world owes them and thinks "Why does no one like my resume, I have so much pizazz :(" is in for a long job hunt. But having an employer contact you and say verbatim "We want you to come in for an interview" and then purposely blow you off is another story. [/QUOTE]
