More times than I can count. I'm finishing my bachelor's in psychology and looking for a job. I applied at three places looking for undergraduate therapists or therapists in training, and not one called me back. Luckily for me, I've been doing an internship at my local inpatient facility, and they offered me a part-time job teaching adults two days about drug and alcohol recovery and then doing the same thing for teen. But the three I applied for were acuatal therapist jobs with individual clients which is what I wanna do The way I see it is. If they couldn't even communicate with me about why I wasn't hired or communicate at all with me after the interview. What is communication like in said company as a whole.
I was in the process of getting my masters applied for jobs that I knew I was qualified for maybe even over but I just needed a job and even some of them were like ummm why are you here I did multiple interviews with the same companies with various personnel (manager assistants etc) and then just heard nothing I literally cried to my partner cause I was so discouraged he ended up rejoining the army and we moved out of state I became a SAHM we’ve been here since November and I got a call last month about a follow up for one of the jobs I was so annoyed.
Yes, I’ve been rejected before. The oddest time I got the job during the interview and was supposed to start Monday and then they never replied back when I tried to figure out which location and at what time. This was in college and luckily I found another job but still it was odd
With job interviews, it’s best to follow up expressing enthusiasm for the position. And if you don’t get the job, thank them anyway and/or ask for feedback.
Yep, I've had this! I went for an interview and it went amazing, he pretty much offered me a job there and then! Said he would get his PA to email me, never received anything. I even chased it up and still didn't hear, SO disrespectful!
I have, and it's awful. Once, I contacted the company and asked for feedback as I assumed I had not been successful. Their response was to say, "Sorry, you didn't get the job. If you have more questions, please contact X." That was in a voicemail. I already knew I didn't get the job, idiots. Another time, I was "hired" at a new centre, not opened yet. Went to the centre twice, to see it, try on a uniform so my size could be ordered and to meet the other staff. Director/Owner had said in my interview that she cared about her staff as much as the kids. She asked if I'd be OK to wait, and I said yes for a short time. I waited 4 months to then find out from my mum that the centre had opened and I'd lost the job. Contacted the director and she said she'd gone with someone she used to work with, then the bitch had the audacity to get cranky at me and go off about how I didn't understand how hard it was to open a centre. Zero excuse for what she did. It messes with your self-esteem and mental health.
I’ve just gotten ghosted from 2 different jobs. Both of which had multiple step interviews only to get ghosted. Really was looking forward to hearing back. I feel like shit 😔
