I'm still waiting, 5 years later, for the guy who laughed at my salary expectation to call back.

Call them and ask how you did in the interview. If they don't remember you, work on your skills.

In my entire life, only one place ever called me back to tell me I didn’t get the job. I told them thank you for letting me know.

I love it when the hiring manager emails me telling me they went with another candidate, then 3 moths I get the rejection email from HR.

Was it a state job? I work for the state and I can tell you that the paperwork is almost done! Keep your hopes up.

I got an email last Monday saying that my application will not be moving forward. I applied three years ago. It turns out that the position>

Was already filled but the application remained up until it was taken down on Monday. They probably sent lots of the exact email I got.

To clarify, the position was filled long before I put in my application.

I got called 2 years later about a job I interviewed for in texas. I had moved to oregon. It wasn't even that good of a job. $10/hr retail.

Grew up in Oregon and moved to Texas when I was 21 because of the shitty pay, high cost of living, and lack of opportunities.

It is really amazing the amount of shitty HR people out there. If you take time out of your life for an interview you deserve a response

If I spend more than four hours on a ridiculously involved application process the least HR could do is get in touch.

See it's reciprocity. I get 800 applicants for a job with 5 years experience. 95% don't have it. So no. Done.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 53

Yeah but how many do you interview?

I've never once had the right number of years of experience requested from a job. I've also almost always been offered the job

I wish I could downvote you more than once. Those are human beings, and they wasted their time on whatever idiotic app process your co uses.

Exactly. Trying to find a job is a full-time job. And it’s a bloody demoralising process. HR rarely makes it any more pleasant.

If you are one of 800 and copied and pasted? I don't owe you and 799 other people a response

Again, this says interviewed, meaning they have the basic skills you were looking for. This doesn't say all applicants.

In a "how to interview" class I took, they recommended sending thank you cards afterwards or a thank you email. Have you tried that?

Okay but what if an employer emails you about your availability for an interview, you respond, then a week later they still haven't emailed

back with a set interview time & date? That's where I'm at right now & I'm losing hope I'll ever even get an interview ughh

"Hi____, last week we talked about having an interview for __. Is this opportunity still available?" But more eloquent.

Yesterday I emailed them again reiterating my availability. Timeline: they emailed, I emailed back same day, week later I emailed again.
