In this day and age, when we're all about 'just email your resume with 2 pictures of yourself; 1 upclose and 1 full length" I think it's only courteous for the Shadchans-aka people whom you are sending your most personal information to (your shidduch resumes), atleast acknowledge receipt of your email.
After all, one small typo and all ur info can go to that guy you date two years ago, or the creepy guy who works at the supermarket and packs your groceries in bags while eyeing you up and down.
So, what's the big deal? just click 'reply' and type 'received'.
Then, 3 weeks later, you call to bug the shadchan and they inform you they never received your email. So those 3 weeks you're feeling bad to bug the shadchan and they never even received your info to begin with! See how such a small simple click and one word answer can work wonders?
Agree or Disagree?
Hi,
ReplyDeleteBut since she never received your e-mail... how could she reply. Or... were you expecting her to proactively wait x days and then e-mail you asking "where is your resume"?
Remember,, got to look at things from BOTH sides of the fence... always!
Bye,
Mark
Mark-lemme be clear-I meant when the email actually GETS to them, they can reply and write 'received'. Yes, when it never gets there-I certainly don't expect them to be chasing me asking why it was never sent. But when there is no reply, there really ain't no way to know if it was received or not.
ReplyDeleteOh I soooo agree. If they would automatically reply, then you would know they hadn't gotten it. (I always end up in spam folders).
