I know you’re busy. I know that when you advertise an open position, whether you’re advertising in the local paper or on a big website like Monster, you’re going to get responses. I know that at least half of those responses are from complete losers who probably couldn’t navigate their way out of a paper bag, much less navigate the endless intricacies of a computer network.
So I understand that when you get a real resume from somebody who might actually know what they’re doing, it might take you a few days to respond. After all, if you weren’t busy, you wouldn’t be advertising the opening, right?
But how long am I supposed to wait before you deign to pick up the phone and call, even if it’s just to tell me to get lost? If you found somebody else who has more experience, great. Good for you. You do want to get the most qualified person you can.
So be a man (or a woman.) Be a professional. Pick up the fucking phone and call the losers (me included) who you didn’t choose and let them know that they probably should fill out that McDonald’s application sitting on their desk.
Is that too much to ask?
