Dear Annie: What is going on in HR departments at big companies these days? The last time I looked for a job, which admittedly was quite a while ago, if you submitted a resume and cover letter to HR, you at least got some kind of response (even if it was a form letter saying "no thanks").

That seems to have changed. I've been looking for work for almost a year now, since I lost my job as a brand manager at a mid-sized company, and it is incredibly frustrating. I've sent dozens of carefully crafted resumes to HR people, usually in response to specific ads on job boards or company websites, and it's like sending things into a black hole. I just hear nothing.

Are your other readers having this experience? How can I get these gatekeepers to respond to me, or if that's asking too much, how do I get past them? -- Just Joan

親愛的安妮:

大公司的人力資源部最近都怎么了？我承認，我上一次找工作已經是很久以前的事情了，但那會兒，只要你向人力資源部提交簡歷和求職信，總能得到回復（哪怕只是一封群發的拒信）。

現在情況似乎有些變化。我曾在一家中型公司擔任品牌經理，自失業以來，我已經找了差不多一年的工作，一直很不順利。通常，我是在招聘網站或公司網站上看到具體的招聘廣告，然后我會非常認真地準備好簡歷，發給公司的人力資源部。就這樣我投了幾十封求職信，結果卻石沉大海，杳無音信。

其他讀者是否也有遇到這種情況？我怎樣才能得到人力資源部的回復呢？如果這個要求都太過分的話，我如何才能越過他們找到工作呢？——瓊
