Used to be, one would make that awkward follow-up call to get one's resume to the top of the pile again. That may not work any longer. Many of the the company websites do not provide physical addresses or phone numbers, but instead, a form to fill that will be emailed to the appropriate "filter" person. More electronic queues...
So what do you do while you wait, besides more applications? How about volunteering at a charity or taking a class to enrich your capabilities? This is a new "employment" world that I never wanted or expected to experience again. I just know that I am not ready to join the rocking-chair set and still don't have the patience for golf. I have bills to pay just like everyone else, but the only feeling of emergence are my own- apparently.
Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?
All those nights when you've got no lights,
The check is in the mail;
And your little angel
Hung the cat up by it's tail;
And your third fiance didn't show;
Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.
Morning
Lord give me a fake smile for the people I can tolerate until they go away, and a place to hide the bodies of those I can't.
