Has anyone ever heard back after filling an online form to apply for a job? After moving to a new country where I didn't have a network, I looked online what companies are here and tried to apply to various. Most had some online system, a few just told you to send an email. The only responses I ever got were from companies where the job ad had the email address of someone whom I should send my CV to. Better, even, if it's a real person and not hiring@example.com.
I think one of the ten "automated" companies sent an automated email after a year that I might want to check the site for new ads. Lol yeah sure I will, great success last time. They were the one where I had worked for before but in another country (and had multiple good references), and they couldn't be arsed to respond at all (just like all the others with online application forms). Rot in hell.
- throwthroyaboat 4y agoI applied for ~50ish jobs online when I graduated (90% at overseas firms). Only one company (FAANG-ish) sent me a response, and that's where I ended up getting a job.
- aeyes 4y agoI once did it when I found a job posting on one of these sites which looked very interesting interesting to me. I didn't really expect anything from it and I wasn't really looking for a job at the time. But I thought it couldn't hurt to see what would happen. Got a call the next day, interviews the same week, contract signed the following week.
