[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 518028, member: 1157"] If no one said anything, how does he even know they got his emailed resignation? Email does fail from time to time ya know. Shaking head. I have never heard of someone resigning without talking to someone in person. It would definitely leave bad blood. I have, however, had friends who were fired/laid off via email, which is pathetic, in my opinion. Not to mention cowardly. I think hiriing practices vary by company and industry. I can definitely see how the automation process would help a larger company that gets inundated by resumes for openings, especially in these economic times. But knowing someone to get your foot in the door, and getting a recommendation, is *always* helpful. It's how you get your resume to the top of the pile. It's how I got my last job, by cold calling a friend of a friend. In my current position, I was hired away from my firm by a client who thought I did great work.. they created a position and put me in it. So I basically recommended myself :) Bottom line is, when looking for a job, you leave *no* stone unturned. You can't just rely on one way of looking, via online ads. [/QUOTE]
