6 Reasons They Didn't Call You Back ... Are They Just Not That Into You?

6 Reasons They Didn't Call You Back ... Are They Just Not That Into You?

Today Yahoo! HotJobs wrote an interesting article about some of the top reasons companies may not be responding to your online job submissions.

1. They're just not that into you.

2. They may be into you, as soon as they get to you.

3. They would have been into you if you had followed directions.

4. They might be into you if you apply for a more appropriate job.

5. Your presentation could use some work.

6. There isn't any job.

A New Job Just a Tweet Away

This morning the Wall Street Journal reports that many companies are turning to Twitter to post jobs. Twitter offers users, including corporate recruiters the chance to make all sorts of announcements, including job postings. Each "tweet" is no more than 140 characters and the recruiters find this method simple and effective. Many introductions and eventual job offers have been accomplished using Twitter.

The candidates then have access to these corporate recruiters. It's the latest in online social networking, opening the corporate doors just a little bit wider for candidates. A candidate can sign up to "follow" a company's tweets or receive tweets through a 3rd party service.

Twitter is a particularly good avenue for companies looking for techno-savvy candidates. Technology companies feel particularly sensitive to the fact that if they're not using Twitter, they're falling behind.

Hiring executives remind everyone that what one says online, stays online. Nowadays, a person's online activities are used as part of the background check process, be it Facebook, Myspace, or Twitter.
