Does this mean they won't hire me

So, I sent an email to a fancy, multinational firm that had an internship open for the next semester... Shamefully, that email had to be sent through their stupid embedded email form... which doesn’t return anything: If a spot was left blank, or even if it was sent successfully. it doesn’t even clear the fields at all.

So I think I accidentally sent the same email multiple times to the company. The email brags about my computer skills.


“ Chale” , as they say.

Maybe if they had decent programmers their site wouldn’t suck... leave that for the interview.

You know what they say

“Validating inputs is for people who actually get paid ”

The only way you'll know for sure is if you never hear anything from them again. Or, think you won't, but get an automated form email rejection 2-3 months later at 2am. Because that's how job applications work now, apparently.

Im going to chill out for a couple of days, and if I don’t get a confirmation of arrival at my email by then, I’m taking further action.

Maybe its a test....

Now you know what the last batch of interns worked on.

I work for a large corporation and have been in meetings with VPs who were complaining about the how lousy the system was for applying to the company.  I agree with them 100%.  If someone is smart enough to figure out how to get their application done and resume uploaded, they ought to be hired right away.  That’s some patience and skills that we need.

That’s actually a great survival strategy;

If no one can apply for jobs because of the embedded email... then they will eventually get a paying job!

I guess I need to put on my Hackerman(tm) hoodie on and keep looking for ways to let them know I exist

Oh, it could be. Recruiters can be sneaky bastards.

I remembered one of the first times in college I had to fax something, and I didn’t realize how big a delay there was before the confirmation fax came back through, and I wasn’t super confident in how to use the thing anyway. So I kept  trying. Then the confirmation faxes started coming back. All of them. And the fax telling me to stop, please stop sending them faxes, they already got it.
