Just a very short update as I continue with my job search.
There are many, oh so very many positions I've found that I would excel at. But that's not surprising given my background. The most frustrating thing is that when you submit an application or a CV, you go into a period of stasis - a period of waiting for a response. In my previous position, it was an unwritten expectation that we would respond one way or the other within a single business day - two days at most - when recruiting people. We did it because we needed the people, but more importantly because (culturally) it was the "polite thing to do." But it's pretty apparent that that kind of culture is definitely NOT the norm.
So that addresses the "The more things change" portion of the post...
And now on to the "The more they stay the same" portion...
Yesterday, M had a date with Allen.
As always, she came home later - hours and hours later - with this huge smile on her face.
He always pleases her so much better than I ever did...
Unfortunately, you are right that the days of getting some type of feed back within 72 hrs. are pretty much gone. In today's modern employment world, one may not hear anything until the hiring HR dept. gets finished doing all the background checks.
