[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 517986, member: 3907"] Susie, you're right, your husband is wrong. Star, IC, you both make good points. Depending on the industry and the type of position being filled, employers use more or less automation to filter job candidates. In a way it makes sense. When I have positions to fill within my team I often get 1000 applicants or even more. For one job. It's near-impossible to read that many resumes individually. Even if you do they all become a blur, so you use criteria to weed out the completely unsuitable candidates immediately. Then the personal stuff begins. Phone calls, panel interviews, individual interviews with peers, management, senior management if necessary, etc. However, that's all to do with hiring. When you're leaving a job, personal interaction is essential. You don't want to leave bad blood behind you. If your husband sent a resignation e-mail, he should have also scheduled a meeting with his boss to talk about it face to face, preferably before the e-mail hit the boss's inbox. You don't want to blind-side someone with that sort of thing, ESPECIALLY if you have a good working relationship. [/QUOTE]
