Ever since my university days, I had always been a fan of blackberry.
What I recently found out about my beloved blackberry surprised me and
has since left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I have recently
applied for a host of jobs, getting invited for tests in some and never
getting an invite in some. In my quest to know why I haven't been
invited to write some tests, I started seeing a pattern.
Anytime
I apply to jobs using recruitment portals such as taleo, I always get
shortlisted. Anytime I apply for a job by sending my CV to a mail
address, I never get an invite for a test.
I decided to do a
little experiment. I opened a yahoo mail account and sent a mail from my
BlackBerry HUB to the yahoo mail and it ended up in spam. I tried the
same using mail addresses of people I had never exchanged mails with and
all the mails ended up in their spam folder.
The problem I
later got to find out is a bug that comes with BB10 devices. Using the
blackberry HUB to send mails will most likely end your mail in the junk
folder.
I decided to open this thread to enlighten other job seekers who unknowingly have been victims of their own phone.
Attached are screenshots of people's experiences I got off the web.
