Yesterday was the last day of a 4 day weekend for the Assension Day holiday. Leaving Lyon towards Avignon was easy it was the coming back that was the problem.Brother and SIL will be catching train from Lyon to Avignon tomorrow. Currently in Lyon. You might end up seeing them in Lyon today, Monday. They have tickets so trust they hold?

Same type of bottles in Germany and France. I have spilled nearly as much down my front as down my throat.Plastic bottles in the UK where you can't take the lid off - I'm a slob anyway and now with the cap in the way I just spill more![]()
This particular employee came highly recommended and I can confirm that they have the right skills and experience to do that job. The issue really is reliability. We were unable to rely on this employee on more than a handful occasions. And they have been incommunicado for the past 6 days or so. No responses to phone calls or texts. Sometimes you do see a reply for a text that, they are not able to talk and will call you tomorrow and guess what, that tomorrow hasn't happened yet!Interesting to hear how performance turned out compared to reference checks? Immediate previous manager and at least one other.
Although… not uncommon to get a good reference from a previous manager looking to offload a staff member![]()
I strongly believe that everyone should be updated regardless of the outcome of their job application. These are people, who have time time out of their day, to read your job ad, formulate a response to submit their application. The least employers could do is, send out responses or call (I call them) to each applicant and explain why they have been unsuccessful. Sometimes, we find that some applicants could be suitable for a different role and we offer them an opportunity to interview for the other role, as an alternative. Some take up on this offer, some choose to skip (entirely up to them).I've just started a new job after about six months off. Probably only really ramped up the applications in earnest within the previous six weeks, to be honest.
You are incredibly generous (whether that is a personal trait / gesture or one mandated by your company / section of your company).
Something that was annoying was when employers did not get back on an application at all. Many of them were lodged through bespoke online portals, so obviously they have proper systems (probably with alerts etc. and dashboards) to see pending applications and statuses. But no, the application status never changed from "submitted" or similar.
Reading a job ad and seeing something like, "Only successfully shortlisted applicants will be contacted", or "If you do not hear from us within six weeks, you may assume you have been unsuccessful", is pretty disheartening. If I'm not successful, so be it - even an automated / bulk mailed message to that effect would suffice.
I realise that when you are applying to work for an organisation, that organisation owes you realistically nothing (except in rare cases where you actually have highly competitive services to offer). After all, they are looking for any reason to make their job easier to cut down the list of applicants to a shortlist; make a complaint and one may not just be off the list, but could be blackballed around town, too. Combined with the fact that it's incredibly much more time efficient, I get why organisations don't feel obliged at all to give any sort of response to applications or EOIs. As an honest applicant who puts in an honest application, it still hurts a bit, though.
Aww! Thank you for your kind words @kookaburra75Knowing @Ade that's how he operates his small company.
Exactly. There are systems in place to help you do that with greater ease. Use the systems to do the leg work for you.I fully agree, and as an employer I have always provided feedback. If you're using a platform like Seek, it is really easy to do, and there's no excuse not to.

It's mandated in the EU, most factories produce for the UK and EU hence UK also has the same as it is too costly to do both.Same type of bottles in Germany and France. I have spilled nearly as much down my front as down my throat.
That sounds to me like either addiction related disappearances or similar mental health related concerns.This particular employee came highly recommended and I can confirm that they have the right skills and experience to do that job.

Anyways, my business partner and I are thinking we should go back to market, try and get someone to come into one of our offices full-time to do this work.

I'm still waiting to hear back about a job that I did two interviews for back in 2014I strongly believe that everyone should be updated regardless of the outcome of their job application.
