EmailYourInteriewer success story by Alison Green on August 15, 2009 An update on EmailYourInteriewer.com, which lets job-seekers send an anonymous, polite letter to employers who interviewed them and then never bothered to get back to them: It’s now generated 95 letters to employers. A couple of employers have written back to apologize. Here’s one of those replies: Please let your candidate know that I apologize if this occurred. I conduct second or third interviews around the country and make it the responsibility of the hiring manager to follow up w/ all candidates. I will follow up w/ the managers who currently have opening to ensure they are communicating w/ all applicants. Hurrah! If you’ve been frustrated yourself by not hearing back from companies after interviewing, why not politely let them know. Go here, and the work will be done for you. (Just make sure to follow the rules.)

Sorry – I tried doing the right thing and it resulted in double the amount of work!

Suffering the occassionally rude applicant (or customer) is no reason to be even ruder to EVERY applicant(or customer!). JERKS HAPPEN. Just block their email addresses, thank them politely and hang up, and do all the other normal things that true professionals do when handling difficult people. And if there truly are an inordiant number of them, check out what your company might be doing to make them that way.
