Haven't Heard Back From an Employer? You're Among 75 Percent of Jobseekers

Have you ever submitted your resume online only to never hear from the company? Or maybe you’ve been interviewing and haven’t heard about the status of your candidacy.

According to a CareerBuilder survey, approximately 75 percent of jobseekers who applied to jobs last year using a variety of sources didn’t end up hearing from the potential employer.

The survey also indicated when candidates have had a negative experience at a company, they’re less likely to pursue opportunities at the same company down the road.

This doesn’t even touch upon branding — maybe you’re a big fan of the retailer you want to do graphic design work for but alas, radio silence.
