Dear Editor,
Please can you publish this letter.
I am writing to address a concerning issue faced by many job seekers in Antigua – the lack of communication and courtesy from job recruiting companies in the application process. Some companies follow a troubling practice where applicants invest significant time, effort, and resources in exercises and presentations, only to be left unaware of their application status.
The absence of communication, particularly for shortlisted candidates, creates uncertainty and anxiety among job seekers awaiting feedback on their efforts. It is disheartening to witness this lack of common courtesy from HR professionals, given the substantial commitment made by candidates to showcase their skills.
Transparent communication is essential for a positive job-seeking experience, reflecting not only professional etiquette but also an ethical responsibility of recruiting companies. I urge these companies to review their communication protocols, prioritizing transparency and respect for applicants. A simple acknowledgment or notification can significantly enhance the overall experience for job seekers.
I hope HR professionals and companies on a whole take this matter seriously, making necessary adjustments to ensure a more positive and equitable experience for all applicants.
Sincerely,
Job Seeker

How can this be happening in Antigua?
Bad things will continue to happen when good people stay silent.
People just don’t care.
When they sit in the highchair looking down on others, theirs a check list.
Board money to pay son’s rent, check
Salary to pay mortgage on beachfront property, check
Allowances to pay apua furniture gallery, hadded, helper, Netflix, check
Per diem for payment of sidechick uwi tuition, check
Apt rent to pay holiday box, check
In private and public departments, everybody at the top is too busy trying to keep up the appearance, to remember how they started
Real talk
There is a lot of unprofessionalism and discrimination in the hiring process in Antigua. I sit back and wonder how delinquent and incompetent people are able to be hired and keep being employed while good workers with knowledge and competence are not given employment. We all know majority of the time in Antigua it’s not based on what you know but who you know.
WAIT! This is not the article I read this morning at 7:50 am. Why was the original article taken down? People, there was a photo of two Philippino maids with bruises on their bodies,allegedly put there by their abusive high ranking boss who happens to be a politician.
Question: who paid off who to pull it down or was someone threatened by a lawsuit?
Wow! That’s what I clicked on also only to come and read this. An article with no substance that looks like it was written hastily
What is a job? Is work considered a job? In my World,work is not a job.
So true. You apply for a job and then they ask for a whole bunch of things to follow up without letting you know your status.
Can just be a waste of time.
I wholeheartedly support the concerns raised about the lack of communication in the job application process for Antigua’s job seekers. I’ve personally experienced submitting countless applications in person and online without receiving any feedback, even after following up and calling the companies, I get to find out from the clerks that managers haven’t reviewed applications for days or weeks which adds to the frustration and questions the professionalism of the process. I urge employers to prioritize transparent communication, which can significantly improve the job-seeking experience for all applicants. Thank you.
