[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know if they only want you for free if you didn't even apply? What response were you expecting when you talked to them that you didnt get? I get that it didnt sound very enthusiastic on their part, but if they really do have a lot of qualified candidates, would you rather they 'lead you on' and then be upset if they hired someone else because they were so enthusiastic about you applying?

I was expecting a very enthusiastic and encouraging response, not "we'll throw you into the mix". That's a real brush off. I would think that my volunteer work would give me a distinct advantage. I thought the head would say, "Great, that's wonderful, and I will do everything I can to advance your candidacy." It's an organization that hires by committee, so she has only so much power. But her endorsement would go a long way. By comparison, her tepid response was really disheartening, and seemed hypocritical since she practically bobs her head off in agreement whenever I make suggestions, and almost always takes and implements them.

Unless you can read minds, you have just proven the adage, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.  What you really seem to be complaining about is that the head did not say, great, consider yourself hired, don't be put worried that we are about to spend time and money going through the recruitment and evaluation process, because the job is yours without the need for you to compete for it.[/quote]
