Do I reply? quick, HELP please!!!

I wouldn't reply, I think you may find its a computer generated response as some companies use software to sort resumes that come in from seek etc.

I would go with a very brief reply.

Dear xxxx,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my enquiry. I look forward to hearing from you soon
Regards.......

If they have lots of applicants any thing that makes you stand out in a positive way or look like you have some initiative might make the difference between shortlist and reject pile.

Don't undervalue pester power. I gave a girl an interview because she was pestering me and DH hired her

Yes, I would reply as well - it certainly can't hurt. Just something brief as Onyx said. Even if it's computer generated, it won't hurt to have given it a go.

I wouldn't bother replying. One would like to think someone would pay attention to replies but I don't think so. Its standard to have an automatic reply sent to applicants. Good luck

No need to reply, it's an automated response that many businesses have in place.

I probably wouldn't, but I do agree with Onyx. My last two jobs I got by cold calling and 'pestering' hehehe

[sloane]

i wouldn't reply but would possibly give them a call during the week
