This is a description of being part of a gatekeeping network - not about sending applications and (maybe) receiving rejection letters. (Which is indeed very rare. Even a rejection letter signifies they feel some minimal level of obligation.)
- justinlloyd 5y agoI am not sure I follow your meaning with regard to "being part of a gatekeeping network."
- yobbo 5y agoBy network, I mean opportunities being offered based on established relationships, rather than asking for opportunities or applying for postings. By gatekeeping, I mean the effect achieved when positions are filled like this. I added "gatekeeping" for bite, but I realise there is no bad intention behind it. Not criticising the behaviour either. It's just the state of things.
