Fed up with no reply from job application for over a month- so sent them this

Is it an agency or a charity? Organisations tend to use phones, even if they didnt advertise what it was. You need to learn the skill of negotiating organisations. Someone somewhere is making a decision, they will have a phone and a secretary.

I'm sure there are ways round that. Ive received automated emails from employers before.
Clearly you don't have a very good knowledge of email.

A charity. And how am I supposed to know the number if they don't advertise it anywhere lol.

It's called a mailing list, not a CC.

And, just by-the-by, I have excellent knowledge of employers. I amknowledge

The skill of understanding organisations and getting past the switchboard. they will have a head office, people will work there, they will have phones.

Find the head office and ask to be put through to HR. If you use your social skills then explain your situation and ask them if they could help you.

The other alternative way is to write a letter, which are less easy to ignore than an e-mail.

The other way (suggested) is to use your line manager. If you have already volunteered there for a year then you should have access to the internal phone directory. You are already on the inside.

lol it would be funny if they just ignored this one as well

You could be anything for all I know. I could claim to be a doctor on here but it doesn't mean I am one.
If you have excellent knowledge why do you sound so ignorant.

Im not really sure what you mean, get past the switchboard. Under contact us all they had was an email address. Its the same for a lot of companies these days.
Anyway it's a bit late for that now, but thanks all the same.

After a month of waiting and no answer despite follow up email, I sent them this:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I applied about a month ago for the position of _______ at ________. Having not heard anything back in weeks, I then followed up with an email, sent on the _______, politely inquiring what the situation was. I still haven't heard anything back. I didn't assume that I would be shortlisted, however, I made a lot of effort in my application and I was at least expecting a standard rejection email, as a matter of common courtesy.
I have been a loyal Volunteer at [the same organization] for over a year, though I have been finding it difficult to come in lately due to the cold weather and lack of heating in the [place of volunteering]. However, I find it disheartening that my emails have so far gone completely ignored. I didn't want to appear to be too persistent and so I have avoided emailing you for several weeks. I understand that you probably received hundreds of applications, however it wouldn't have taken you much time to simply write a standard rejection letter to send to all the unsuccessful candidates. I was excited at the possibility of working as a ________ and I believe I could have been a good employee, but your lack of response has put me off. Should more vacancies arise in _______, I will not put myself through the trouble of applying again.

Yours sincerely,

x

Too much?

As ive already said I did send them an email before asking for feedback, and I got nothing.
Have you ever heard of the CC feature in email? you can send the same email to lots of people, its very clever.

You asked for opinions, so I'm giving you one.

It sounds bratty and like you're having a tempter tantrum because they didn't do what you decided they should have done. It's the written equivalent of stamping your feet and saying I'm never going to be your friend again.

What in earth were you thinking - did you have some sort of moment? Personnel tend to remember the crazy, green-ink communications like this, and you honestly won't have done yourself any favours here. Recruitment is quite a a close-knit business.

Let's face it most of you people have thought about sending an email like this, you just don't have the guts. Youll spend your lives being run down, chewed and spat on and employers will think that that's fine because hey, nobody would dare to complain.

And what exactly did you hope to gain from this? While yes they may have intended to let successful candidates know they were successful within a couple of weeks, they may still have put you on a short waiting list in case one of those they offered the job to couldn't accept it. Also, it's incredibly common not to get even a generic rejection email - I've applied to at least 50 jobs/ internships/ voluntary placements during my time at uni and maybe received at the most 10 rejection emails. It's also entirely possible that they did send you such an email, but it got filtered out by your email's SPAM filters or the like, you can't just assume that all the blame is on them.

It's a bit late now, but what you should have done instead is send them a polite email saying you are disappointed you were not offered the job, but would you be able to kindly have some feedback on your application. Having volunteered with the organisation for over a year you are really passionate about what they stand for, so you would be grateful if they would keep your CV on file in case a similar opportunity came up again. Keeping it polite and to the point, not rudely accusing them of ignoring you...
