My experience is similar. I'm currently job hunting again, and this week I spent hours reading through this month's "Who's Hiring" post, making my best effort to write cover letters addressing what each company needs and how my skills and experience can assist them.
I got 2 responses. Both were impressed by my resume so I don't believe that's the issue.
Its really hard not to take it personal when it's such a common experience. If someone sends you an email, you reply. It's basic decency.
- simpss 7y agoI've found that unless you use some of the big-name e-mail providers, there's a high chance your letter wasn't even seen. Companies tend to use some providers e-mail solutions and some of them are way too trigger-happy for spam. It's gotten so bad, that before applying, I look at their MX records and if it's gmail, I won't even bother unless i really-really want the job. In that case I follow up with a phone-call.
