Just to make sure they're clear about it...
I got lazy regarding job applications during July, due to City of Heroes, that final project, and general sloth. But over the past two weeks I've applied to about ten positions. My first response from this wave arrived with a note on the door, saying the post office had a certified letter from one of the companies, but needed me to sign for it and I hadn't been there when they arrived, so could I come and pick it up?
Certified letter? That sounds like a good sign, right? Well, it turns out they spent $4.42 to make absolutely sure I received... their rejection. >_<
Yeesh, my email address was right on my resume; that would have been free. It's admittedly a step up from companies that never get back to me at all, but still, if they're wasting money like that, I'm almost glad they didn't consider me.
