Would I want to work for you? It's a BIG FAT NO!


I just opened a letter this morning advising me that I wasn't successful in my application for a post at an NGO. The thing is I applied for the job almost 12 weeks ago. I didn't get called for interview, which is fair enough but waiting 12 weeks to tell me. I bet the successful candidate is already in post. Ireland is a small country and if I did a bit of digging I probably could have found out who the successful candidate was before I got my thanks but no thanks letter. Is it me or is this acceptable? Not only do I find it unacceptable I find it totally disrespectful.

Furthermore, they're an NGO, Id much prefer they cut costs and send it by email, saving time and money. Would I want to work for an organisation that appears to be inefficient and disrespectful? It's a big fat no!

This is just another item added to by list about why the NGO sector in Ireland need to pull their socks up! You will here about this list one day, I assure you.

Rant over!

Too right! Inefficiency on such basic admin is not a good sign.
