[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 310911, member: 179"] Fingers crossed, Susie. It's a dog eat dog world out there right now to get a job. What complicates it more is the online application process where you don't get to have a human contact. I think the thank you notes are a wonderful idea. I saw a statistic yesterday that in 2007 there was a ratio of 1:1.7 applicants for every job. Today, it's 1:6.5. I think that is a light estimate. I know a simple minimum wage job here has HUNDREDS of applicants. We recently had a Best Buy open. I was the first applicant and she said they had 340 to do that week. Geez. Abbey [/QUOTE]
