I’m finding job searching is becoming very unprofessional. In the last 6 months I’ve had interviews where companies have ghosted me without even a follow-up. I even had one with the connection dropped halfway through and that was it, never heard again. I’m sure if one of their workers pulled a day off without telling anybody they wouldn’t like it. I’m not sure if it’s a culture of the Western world but if you’re looking for work they see it as they have the power. Time wasters

Oh I feel this. Got a call a few weeks back about a job, had a 20min phone interview and then they wanted me to come in right then and there. Met with them, they showed me around, introduced me to people (like I had the job) and then said, next steps would be interview with owner of the business - 3 weeks later and about 3 unreturned phone calls, I've finally accepted that I was not successful.
Still shocked that they couldn't even just send me an email to say "No"

It really is a better outcome when job seekers can get any level of feedback, and we think a simple follow up isn't too much to ask. Our best advice is to keep on with the search, and don't let those roles that don't follow up hold you back. If you ever need a hand with the search, we're always here. 🙏
