I once applied for a government position. Entry level admin. I had been working admin for 7+yrs plus various volunteer positions since I was 18.
It was about 2hrs to fill out the form and answer all their questions.
I didn't hear anything back after a couple of weeks and was like, 'Ok. I should have heard back by now, I didn't get picked for an interview, whatever.'
ONE YEAR LATER I got an e-mail telling me that they weren't going ahead with my application.
If it's been a year and you're reaching out then it had better say that a new position has opened up and would like to talk to me about it, not 'We're going ahead with other candidates.' Also, if that's when you're getting an answer then it kinda looks like, 'We finally saw your application.' The slow turning wheels of bureaucracy...
It's fuckin' ridiculous.
