Re: There’s a reason people say
I applied for a job at a BOSE store when between positions. I filled in an application form and handed it in. I then heard nothing and decided that I obviously wasn't suitable for their shops. A full 6 weeks after the form went in I had a call from somebody thanking me for applying and saying that I was more than perfect for the job. "When can you come in?" I told them I had found another job in the vast amount of time it had taken them to get in touch. He seemed rather shocked by this piece of news.
