Communication Please

Having experience in managing groups of employees, situations, contracts, etc. one of the things I found to prevent problems was communication. After looking for a job for nearly a year I have found one commonality...lack of communication. If I am feeling frustrated with the lack of communication, I imagine there are thousands if not millions of others who feel the same.

So I go the idea of "frustratedjobhunters.com." A place where job hunters can "respectfully" voice their frustration about job hunting. Hoping that it would go well enough to attract the attention of some recruiters and employers so they can have a little compassion for what many job hunters are going through.

I write blogs for real estate, so I am not new to blogging. I've wanted someplace to voice frustration, and this is it. I look forward to the debates, discussions, and experiences of others. Together, maybe, just maybe we can make a small impact. Here's some of what I have experienced.

• Over qualified (which is not what is expressed in those few and far between denial letters),
• Under qualified,
• Job requirements for someone already filling the job for years, not the basics to start in the position (as a manager it took years to reach the level I did before retiring. Proud to say it took two people to replace me.),
• No consideration for years of commitment to previous employers (loyalty),
• No consideration for education, which is not cheap,
• No consideration for willingness to learn,
• Lack of communication (Was my resume received? Did anyone see it? It seems like some go into cyberspace never to be seen again.)
  

A little courtesy from employers and recruiters would help. Or is that too much like work? If it is, I know how to respond and communicate. I'm frustrated, aren't you?
