Must Read: How Using A Blackberry Might Prevent You From Getting A Job

Read this guys observation below

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 topen my thoughts 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.
