Kindly encourage employers of labour to initiate an online feedback mechanism which would enable applicants who have applied for jobs online to know the position of their submissions. Most online applicant are usually kept in uneccessary suspence, without any form of feedback from the employing organization after sending their resume and cover letter. This is to say the least, impolite and uncivilized in this day and age. Willing employers who have called for applications should activate some sort of an automated response mechanism to their mail boxes with a generalised message informing applicants that thier submissions have been received and is under review or any other relevant information deemed useful to applicants. Thank you and I hope that i'd receive a feedback on my comments too.
