After bitching about how submitting resumes via Craiglist felt like throwing them into a bloody black hole, I was pretty surprised when sending out 3 applications today resulted in 2 personal – not canned! – email responses.
Granted, neither was “get down here for an interview! we need you!” but both were at least cordial We-Got-Your-Resume-Thanks emails.
I choose to look at this as a positive sign.
