Not just on the Americas side of the pond, apparently.
I’m applying for dozens and dozens of jobs right now in the UK, so I expect to get plenty of rejection emails, but today, Monday, two days before Christmas, 11 rejection emails so far, which is a record (I’m not upset, I am aware I will get far more rejections than interviews). Obviously people are working like crazy to get everything done right before Christmas, but I thought at least the UK was more relaxed on this stuff. You really couldn’t wait until January to send out rejection emails? Gotta grind right up to Christmas?
You would think, but just before I checked my replies here, I got a text from a recruiter asking me if I was still interested in a job and I had an interview a couple of hours ago. 🤷
Good luck, job searching is the worst. Last time I was in that boat, I jumped overboard and started my own. There came a point where I wasn’t going to fill out the same fucking form again for another job I had no interest in doing.
It is and I hate it. In this case, though, I am both desperate and willing to live anywhere in the UK, which makes things a bit easier. I’m still supposed to have an interview today though.

Many might be automated emails. Some algorithm somewhere has decided that no human needs to see your resume.

Also, thank you.
