Shall we play a game?

How about a game of “Good Idea, Bad Idea”?

Good Idea:

Checking back with us to see if your application has been received or reviewed. It’s always a good idea to check. You aren’t bugging us, and you show to us that you are truly interested in the job.

Bad Idea:

Checking back with us almost a month later, then getting pissed because I have no idea who you are. Yes, I know you’re a special little snowflake, dude. We all are. Now, if there had been something special on your application, we would’ve called you, if not hired you. What makes this even worse is that not an hour later, another department asked us if we had any applications left in the “YES” pile, and could they have three or four. I found the one in question in that pile. Decent application, ok experience, his schedule just didn’t work out.

I chose four others from the pile.

I’m saying it again: Don’t be a dumbass.

Update:

The girl from my last post who checked back with us a few times was hired. The fact that she was a “MAYBE” shows, but so does her dedication and desire to be a good worker. If things continue as they have been, I hope she will be with us for a good, long time.
