Dear Agung,
Let's start with a question this week: Have you ever had an employer not respond to your job application? If yes, please know you're not alone. Nowadays, most job-seekers at some point feel that their resume disappears into a black hole after they've applied for a job... and they're not imaging things. In fact, a study last year showed that only 1 in 10 employers say that they respond to every candidate, and 1 in 3 companies actually said that they don't respond to unqualified candidates as their standard practice. Ouch.
Having said that, it's important to keep in mind that it's not because employers intentionally want to frustrate job-seekers. In general, the hiring process has become increasingly difficult for them, too, with huge increases in applications for a single job which means more resumes to review. Yet, at the same time, budgets have often been cut, so there are less people to do the work. Therein lies a big problem.
This isn't to say it is okay (it's not!), but it is a reality. And because of that, first I encourage you to not take it personally if it happens to you, and second I invite you to attend our free upcoming webinar on "Your Cover Letter: Write Your Own Interview Ticket"! Because the good news is that employers WILL be sure to contact you if you're one of the people they want to interview. :-)
As always, we want to thank you for trusting us to help you in your search for a telecommuting, part-time, freelance, or flexible schedule job! If there's anything we can do to make your experience better, please let us know. Many cheers,

Sara, and the FlexJobs Team
