Job Hunters may become frustrated and discouraged by the numbers of resumes they send out in comparison to the numbers of responses, particularly interview appointments, they receive back. However, career coach Michael Melcher said job seekers should not become discouraged by such things. Job hunters often underestimate how busy those they are trying to reach are. He said what is the top priority for the job seeker may be on the B list for the person they are trying to reach. Melcher said there are professional ways to handle a non-response, including the use of the old fashioned telephone rather than relying on email and internet communication. The personal touch is often welcome. He also suggests that one way to reach past the secretary handling the resumes is to send your employment packet via. FedEx or Express Mail, giving it higher priority and often landing it on the desk of the person you really want to reach. Melcher said the most important tip is to keep going and not let the disappointments stop you from continuing your search. A nonresponse does not mean you having nothing of value to add, it just means you may not fit that particular company at this time, or that your resume and/or cover letter need some fine tuning.
