I’m sure this must sound stupid for many, but I never get any responses, until like 3 days later when I check my spam folder and realize my scheduled interview appointment came from some random server that got deleted as spam mail.

How the hell do people get jobs online? I’ve only ever landed a job in person.

    Alot of them use software to automatically screen people out, specific keywords.

      I do believe you misread my post in some way.

      It’s not that the company I applied to rejected me, quite the opposite actually. They sent me an email for a scheduled interview, but Google decided to automatically toss that email right in the spam folder.

      I didn’t figure that out until like 3 days after the appointment when I got a bug up my ass to actually check my spam email folder.

      How the fuck did I have an opportunity to at least get an interview, yet Google basically decided to throw it in the trash spam folder?

        I mean what exactly is your point? Check your spam next time maybe? If you hadn’t missed the interview you might have got the job. Thats how people get jobs online, by replying to postings, scheduling interviews, and attending the interview.
