MY POINT, is that if a company opens a window or application process for any position, in which you have to complete on-line processes or send information to them electronically, they should at minimum acknowledge that they have received what you submitted. The argument that there are only a few people in HR and thousands of applicants does not fly with the technology they have today. Everything could be sent to an email address that sends an automatic reply if it contains the proper subject line which could be directed to the applicant to do, etc., etc. Even with all this technology, things can go wrong and not work correctly. There are lots of emails and text messages that were supposedly sent to me that never made it.
With the process of trying to get a flying job being long and arduous anymore, starting the process out having NO idea if they have received your stuff is frustrating to say the least.
I agree with you 100%.....Auto Response goes a long way in at least letting one know that----at the very LEAST----the submission was recieved....
