6 months ago my project was cancelled and the startup I was working for was going to reconsider its position. In the meantime everyone was sent home “awaiting further information”. Initially I didn’t think much of it. Surely as a full stack developer, I will find something else in no-time. Now, a little over 6 months I got invited twice to an interview, and that's it.<p>This isn't about not finding a job or not getting invited, it's about the lack of response. Anywhere. I apply for about 10 to 15 jobs aday, and I rarely get a response. I apply for freelance jobs and I almost never get a reply. I spend about 1.5 hours per day on different dating apps, and I almost never get a reply after a match. Whenever I find bugs or issues in open source projects, I try my best to submit bug reports or PR requests. More often than not I do not get any reaction. I sent over 150 bug reports to the Unreal Engine project, including stack traces and example code, and I have yet to receive the first reply. I posted my little resume on “HN: Who’s for hire” and I only receive mass target spam messages from what I assume are bots. In fact, almost all emails I get are untargeted, clearly sent by bots or automated scripts.<p>Just a couple of days ago, I got an email from a startup expressing their interest in my resume. After mailing back and forth a couple of times the conversation suddenly ended. No reaction. No reply to my last email. I asked them if they were still interested but never got anything back.<p>I submitted a loan application to one of the world's largest banks and received no response by phone, email, or text. I can cite another 50 examples...<p>I asked people around me if they have been experiencing the same lack of interaction. Most of them seem to recognize the problem, but aren’t really bothered by it. I have no idea what to think of all this...
To be honest I would be more concerned about not getting any replies from a dating app.<p>I am not a developer but from what I read online there seems to have been a vast amount of professionals in your field being made redundant or just sacked.<p>Employers, I have experieneced this, are overwhelmed with job applications and they can wait for the best candidate while keeping everyone else hanging. Then drop everyone once they have chosen their knew staff member.<p>My sister is a director of fine art and just last year she needed a new secretary. within the first week she got over 500 applications.<p>My sister is brutal and a bit mercenary and just picked 10 at random and chucked the rest in the bin. I challenged her about this and she said she did not have the time to read through 500 CV'c and job applications.<p>She then interviews the 10 candidates and chooses the one she likes. For her its not about qualifications and how many degrees you have, she likes human people who she can get along with.
