Rejection Letter

Do you feel you are owed a rejection letter, email or phone call if you have not been asked to continue in the hiring process or they have hired someone else?

I certainly do not feel that you are owed anything, just for sending in a resume. However, today, I did receive an email from a company that I sent a resume to. It's a rather large construction company with many divisions and they let me know they received my resume and it has been forwarded on to the hiring manager. It was a personal response, not computer generated. It's a well know, quality first company.

I have been on many interviews and second interviews. It would be nice to get an email stating that they were moving on in the process without me. I know I'm not owed it but you took the time and expense to meet with them, a quick email is not going to kill anyone.

What do you think?

An email at least if you've made to the second round.

I agree..if you got an interview you at least deserve an email. I interviewed almost a year ago for a job that I thought I was a decent fit and never got a response. Nice thing about head hunters..they'll let you know.
