It's instantly what I thought of when yet another professional business leader failed to follow up on the simplest of courtesies: the follow-up.
As one of the newest members of "the unemployed", I am trying diligently to get back into the working world... and am now experiencing the "no shows". The individuals who say, "I'll e-mail you Monday so we can set up a time to..."you guessed it! No e-mail call or any kind of follow up.
Tonight a friend told me that it's a 'management ploy' to see if I really want the gig. Not if they can't even type an e-mail.
Many thanks to the employers who actually do acknowledge resumes, e-mails, calls, appointments etc - even if the answer was "no" or "sorry we've filled that vacancy".
I'm even okay with the ball back in MY court, as in: "why don't you follow-up with me next Monday?" I never miss an appointment...
...but Don't Promise Me A Rose Garden. I may not like those flowers anyway.
