I have applied for an open opportunity in Platteville, Colorado that I am highly enthusiastic about. Yet upon contacting their HR department I have not received any returned calls. My calls were informational purposes only, not to inquire about the application. I'm just stumped that no one is ever in the HR department at such a large facility. Just at a loss on what to do about a position that I can fill when I can't even inquire about it...
:bhead I just thought I'd share only to continue my participation in the AH community <S> VAMPIRE

India is in bed when your calling?

nice one but the HR department is as well in colorado ;)

keep calling.

keep calling.
I was worried about being "that guy"... lol but after not having my calls returned, I did call and made the point that that person isn't responding after seven days.. they then forwarded me to another HR rep for me to leave a message ... so I did just that...
so now, What would be a reasonable response time frame?...
-
24 hours

24 hours
move on in attempt to find another opportunity afterwards? Kinda depressingly silly to have something right up your ally and let it slip by because HR is busy or .... who knows....
also this isn't the only company I've tried to communicate with.... is on-line applications the only way anymore? what happened to a phone call and an interview?...
-
Maybe they have had no takers on their HR ads as of yet.
-
Go to their office in person, perhaps?

HR....Home Rescue?... :headscratch:

HR may not do the interviews. The other option is call and ask for someone in management. Sometimes your have to kick the hornet nest to get action.

good point, I'll give them this additional 24 hrs and then I'll call and ask for management. I just don't want to become seemingly whinny and/or beat a dead horse either... errr... :uhoh

Human resources, the people that conduct the employees. ie, hire, fire,- disciplinary, promotions- the ones that keep record of employee behavior and attendance... did I cover it all?

lol shuffler, this would be absolutely comical.
and eskamo joe. I live in Indiana, I will go there for the interview no problem, but to fly to colorado for them to say, "we'll call you" would be a vacation built on a waiting game and frustration build up ;)

Many times the initial part of the hiring process are not handled by HR but rather by recruiters that are contractors. The recruiters usually forward the resumes to the manager/managers who are looking to fill their head count. If you don't know or was not in direct contact with the recruiter/recruiting agency, then your best bet is to call and/or apply elsewhere.

I was doing the same and hoped it would not tread on anyone's feelings. I did not see if the OP was working now or was/ has been jobless.
The funny wears thin if he is jobless.
-
no not jobless, never been jobless... I simply would like to move out of Indiana to a better place (clicking heels) on the other hand, I've never really had to LOOK for a job either, every one I've had was an offer. but in Indiana, it's is a VERY high cost of living (near Chicago) and low (good)job opportunities. And most of all... the corn... endless corn....
-
aHH OK Good luck on your hunt for improvement. :aok
-
thanks, I have even thought of just going there and see what comes of it...
-
My plant takes in liquids from noble in CO.....
What kind of job you looking for? Not a centrifugal pump mechanic are ya?
Stab

:aok I had a feeling that SOMEONE from the AH community might be of valuable resource ;) I will PM you... I can give you a wealth of information to what it is I am trying to do... thanks in advance

Tell them you are confirming receipt of your resume and cover letter.

that IS why I have been calling... I called today and was sent to a third persons machine and again left a polite message regarding the position that I am interested in. tomorrow I guess I'll do what was already suggested and ask for a manager of the HR department... only I think the first one WAS the manager... I wont just give up :confused:
