This is a good alternative to sending out a ton of rejection letters in the first round. It lets people know to "give up their hopes" after a certain date. If you interview and are not selected you should get a letter at the very least! Thanks, Amanda

Iron my clothes, get directions, have resumes and cover letters ready, fill out a background check form, fill out an application, then proceed to spend an hour and a half of my time interviewing with them and then to hear nothing back at all??? Not even an e-mail?? That is just plain rude! -Amanda I continually have this same thing happen to me, but it doesn’t bother me as much if I just send them an application or a resume.. that is understandable, it’s when I put in a ton of effort to go to an interview.
