Lately I've been trying to find a part-time job within the legal realm. Thought it would be a great way for me to get back into the field before I do the law school thing. Plus would be a great place to get last minute references :) Anyways, I've applied for a couple of positions, but for some reason, I haven't heard anything back. Most of them have been on Craigslist, and being that there are no phone numbers I've had to just send a follow-up email to the same random email that I initially sent my cover letter and resume to.
What is bugging me, is why wouldn't I hear anything back? I don't know how other people operate, but when I apply for a job and nobody calls me back, I take it personal. For one, I'm not one of those people that just send generic cover letters to everyone they apply for. I take the time to personalize each one. Two, I don't just apply to any old place with an opening. I make sure I'm qualified for each position I apply for. Thirdly, I think I'm a damn good worker. So what's really good? I don't know...
I'll update on how this goes...

It's so hard to be noticed in today's job market, because there are so many applicant's for the same job.
Employers may take more time to send you a rejection, or thank you letter. Or, they may forgo it to save money in this economy.
Love your thoughts here!
