“Oh, that company hasn’t responded yet? Maybe you should call them and remind them you’re interested, or look up their address and go there in person, I’ve heard that those things sometimes help people get hired!”
How about I don’t do any of those stupid, stupid things. They wanted resumes electronically; I gave it to them that way. They said ‘plant knowledge good but not required’ and since I -have it- and have not gotten called I think that says plenty. How about ‘companies with stealthy hiring requirements like ‘we get all hot for people when they stalk us’ are bullshit places to work for because they are INTENTIONALLY TERRIBLE at communicating what they want.’ And I don’t wanna work for people who play those games, so IF that company is one of those, fuck that shit.
PS I’ve heard ALL THIS STUPID GENERIC ADVICE SO MANY TIMES the LAST THING I WANT is yet more well-meaning generic ‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘help’‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘‘
PPS I tried to find their exact location to put their address on the cover letter like a True Pro and I could not find it. So there. (As if going to the business location of a LANDSCAPING BUSINESS, whose business model relies on NOT BEING IN THE OFFICE MOST OF THE TIME, would be all that fucking useful.)
