This was especially true several years ago when I was applying for jobs after my last one went kaput. It seems like applying for jobs these days is almost exclusively done on line and I was disappointed when I received very few responses to my applications. <br /><br />These days I get very few "real" emails intended specifically for me, but when I do I almost always answer unless it's so weird or suspicious that I feel no answer is warranted. <br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="https://tossingitout.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out </a><br /><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-9091913899649006792018-10-18T02:24:11.398-04:002018-10-18T02:24:11.398-04:00I definitely want to go to that one!

I do also try to give people more time for emails that involve a commitment (date, review, blog post etc.) because I know people get so many emails a day and most people work full time jobs (where they get more emails). I know I try to respond to emails as quickly as I can- but sometimes an email takes me a while longer to respond- especially if it is something I have to coordinate with my co-author. <br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-14431569002298626552018-10-12T23:44:27.779-04:002018-10-12T23:44:27.779-04:00I could write books about how much writing has don...I could write books about how much writing has done for me. <br />Yes, failure to respond bothers me.<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying October, Diane.Rawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-78011367422402530092018-10-11T18:24:16.006-04:002018-10-11T18:24:16.006-04:00Reviewers seem to be the worst.

A lot of it is anxiety related (especially from the phone). Some of it, though, is the feeling that the author/publisher didn't do their homework. I have on my websites I am no longer taking review requests, yet I still receive the occasional one. And then there are some that are genuine spam. That said, if I've established a relationship of some kind with a person, I am more likely to respond.Cherie Reichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16663147386014122939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-63672399978456930542018-10-10T09:02:34.545-04:002018-10-10T09:02:34.545-04:00Yep.
