    Nothing quite crushes the soul like customizing a resume and cover letter for a job at a company, getting turned down via form letter, then see that same job listing posted a week or two later.

    Except having every company in town do it to you.

    For over two years.

      In Canada JobBank can have employers request that you apply to their posting.

      Nothing crushes your soul like receiving a request to apply for a position, customizing your resume and cover letter, and never hearing a thing. Then repeating that process for months.

        Ok, emails mostly. I have received a few letters though! Public service employers can be old fashioned that way.
