Recruitment process
I didn't anticipate myself partaking just now, although that is a trivial fact.
Presently I feel tense because numerous messages I have sent remain unresponded to. These include one to which I expect an eventual reply, one that is slightly odd because the girl was kind to me when we spoke (and I believe we would've had a better conversation had we spoken face-to-face) and one that is disappointing. This third one was sent to an individual who had been fairly kind and helpful earlier about a different query. I very much dislike when people don't respond to a question. I will be momentarily downcast if my request is rejected, sure; but I would rather that than be ignored. Ignorance stings.
I do realise I am a novice in this process; if I have made a serious mistake in approaching these people I will realise it soon. Although, I was fairly sincere to all three of them. Nevertheless, there is much else to do and many others to try and talk to.
I just remembered there is a 4th–I wonder if the stonewalling is because they want to gate keep information or because of their political judgement of my simple request. I just wish this person, and the others, would tell me what they're thinking. There is nothing personal about of this; why be so squeamish?
On the flip, I reckon I should try my sly email tricks and try & discover other connections. Preparing my materials so I'm ready to go on arrival would be prudent as well.
I hope they all simply needed a break in Europe and will soon get back to me.
