Poor human resources and management. Especially since everything is digital now.

Have you considered using a headhunter? Do they have things like that in the UK?

I am using two I am finding either I don’t like the company or they will not entertain a phone interview to save me taking time off or travelling great distances

For fuck sakes hey. That's not good at all, it's their job to kiss your ass and make you like them, that's how they get paid.

Just keep being polite and something will turn up OP.

Indeed. Long gone are the days of being sent a 'Sorry, you have been unsuccessful on this occasion' letter

Try to be a foreigner, it took me 5 months to find a job after I moved because not even retail gave me a chance. I guess they just assume I'm someone with a poor English who won't be able to put a sentence together.

You need to find a job for yourself first so you can afford to hire me

Keep your focus on your objectives, rather than the things that are the distraction. It's a job in itself to find a job, though the pay comes later. Learn as you go, such as via your questions and improve your searching skills.

Do what you can to keep your self-belief and motivation high.

I deal with aspects of recruitment in my role and I send rejection letters / emails to which I have had abuse and even death threads for it....

True

I still get emails for jobs I applied to last year saying “sorry we have moved on to the next stage and unfortunately you were not selected”

Aye, cheers.. gathered that

I tend to find LinkedIn pretty good these days. You can ask a connection to refer you for roles in their organisation for instance

I heard a story yesterday where the application form recipient would literally pick up half the application forms in one go and throw them in the bin without having read one word. He would justify it by saying "well them people are obviously unlucky and i don't want unlucky people working here"

I know this might not be a popular response but if you actually take a look from both the situations regarding how many messages single ladies and couples receive and job applications you’d understand why it’s simply not possible to reply to everyone it would be like you receiving 100s of messages from single guys that you have no interest in yet you would reply to all ?? I know I wouldn’t

I am hiring ironically as well as looking and I let everyone know even the ones that don’t even get through the CV stage

A mail merge generic no thanks is doable really though for little effort.

It's basic business etiquette, or maybe I'm just a good person in business

Well even when looking for jobs most companies actually state on application forms that not all people will receive a response

I’m certainly not disagreeing that people should receive a polite response
