Human Resources and Staffing Agencies

Dear MTA,

Why do companies take so long to respond to job applicants? At each stage of the process, the job seekers hopes and patience are worn thin, as they wait, lose hope, and repeat the cycle. In much the way that you have neglected my letters, Human Resources mangers and staffing agency recruiters offer little to no information, no matter how frequently or infrequently I contact them.

Perhaps the flying bunny would like a part-time job on the side, bullying potential employers on behalf of the unemployed and under-employed.

Inquiringly,Virginia

I've thoroughly decided that jobs are like men. You can comfort yourself with lies like, "The HR people are probably really swamped" or "They're playing hard to get!" But the sad truth is probably that they just weren't into you. If they want you, they're calling. Or e-mailing. Or showing up on your doorstep singing Michael Bolton.

Thank you very much, Alex. Condiments that end in "etchup" for $800 please.
