Job application

I just received a job application letter. I don't have to reply to it, since I never did put out a notice of recruitment. But whenever somebody writes to me for industrial training or asking for job, I feel it's nice to reply to them even if I can't offer them anything. At least they know what the outcome is, instead of wondering if the rock has hit the bottom of the sea (石沉大海). I don't do it all the time, but if there's time, I try as best as I can.

But I don't like writing rejection letters. Makes me feel sad when I imagine what they feel like when they read it. Heck, it's a lesson everybody has to go through one time or another, unless you never had to apply for a job.
