Annoying parts of applying for a new job.

Why is it such a big deal for an employer to reply and let you know either way about the position you applied for?

I recently graduated from a diploma in Business Administration. I plan to continue on for an undergrad and on to gain a CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant) designation. I hope to complete it part-time and online. So in the mean time, I am looking for a position that I can use the hours worked towards my designation.

Well I have probably sent my resume to 10 plus positions open and then a few general applications. Out of that 10 plus, I have had one company contact me for an interview. I didn't get the position but they took the time to explain why. It sucks that I wasn't awarded the position but I'm happy that they had enough class to reach out and explain their decision.

I know that running a business can be hectic, but when a busy accounting firm can take the time, why can't other businesses do the same?

It's very frustrating as a job seeker to not hear anything, especially when you're confident you meet the requirements.

I guess this is just my way of venting. So to all of the businesses out there, in search of new employees. It don't take much to send an email, to the ones who are qualified, and simply state why they didn't get the position.
