I've sent close to 20 emails. I got one rejection, one interview that i then decided not to pursue and a whole bunch of silences.

I had been applying for a legal traineeship, but there are very few of them around at the moment.

I'll end up putting in a year doing any old job and applying for traineeships again in a years time.

That sucks.

Yeah your best bet is to start another job while you keep looking for the one you want. I think I'm gonna do that

What about websites where you see the offerings and can send your resume?

You're supposed to keep following up to give the impression that you really want the job.

The website i go to, you can see the vacancy and then send your resume on the email that they've provided.

That depends because the company could not have any openings...

How do I follow up? I send them an email, they don't answer, should I then send them another email??

 

[Fred]

No, i only send my resume to companies that advertise their vacancies.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Yeah. Or call and ask them if they got it. You might not want to seem like a pest or you might want the job.

 

[IrishZebra]

We will contact you if we are in a position to offer you an interview

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

We will contact you if we are in a position to offer you an interview

Meanwhile look for other vacancies and if you haven't got anything after, say maybe a month, check again. Why not?

 

[Dragon]

Typical.

I would love to work in HR so I can figure out why it is they don't call people back.

Yeah you could email/call them. You're not gonna lose anything!

 

[Enron]

Phone call. Tell them you appreciate the time they've given you and you look forward to working with them. Keep it brief.

Never follow up with an email. Either send a letter or phone in, if not both.

Since may I have applied and applied, the situation here is so bad, entry level positions with the lowest possible legal wage want 5 years experience

Will try that.

Typical.

I'm planning on working in HR eventually, when i do that, i'll let you know why it is, that "we" don't call people back

Phone call. Tell them you appreciate the time they've given you and you look forward to working with them. Keep it brief.

Noted.

Similar kind of problem here, most jobs require 3-5 years of experience as a minimum. As soon as they see that you're a fresh graduate, they throw your CV in the dustbin.
