I expressed my interest in volunteering for this organization and was contacted after about 2 days. The email began with a 'thank you'; however, the representative felt the need to express this was an unpaid position. I found this a little puzzling, since I found the organization on volunteermatch.org which seems to me to already imply unpaid. Nonetheless, the email proceeded to ask me for my resume (standard request) and a cover letter detailing why I left my past employment, how do I feel that I would be a good fit for this profile, strengths, weaknessnes, and time commitment to whowhatwhy. As requested, I sent all the requested information within less than 24 hours. That was Tuesday of this week and it now, Friday and I've heard nothing more, either a 'yes' or a 'no'. I have no problem disclosing any of the information requested, but I didn't feel appreciated. I felt more scrutinized. Even a follow-up email could've worked saying got your info and we'll get back to you soon.
