| > 1. Is it normal practice to ghost applicants at the staff-level interview process? Apparently yes. Also, am I meant to follow up after the interview, write a thank you message etc? Reminds me of this gem (2019) - I've been hiring people for 10 years, and I still swear by a simple rule: If someone doesn't send a thank-you email, don't hire them. https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-write-thank-you-email... > 2. Communications ... Email hasnt been instant or efficient since the last blackberry rolled off. > 3. I have, as of today, well over 30 ATL optimized applications still sitting in "applications purgatory" with many large fortune 500 companies ... LinkedIn applications? I have/had one many years ago, it sat there for multiple years - just waiting for them to get to it and let me know if they want to give me the job or not. Congrats on getting back in - I expect you are probably seeing these things are no different on the job. |
A fuckin thank-you email?! That lady is out of her gourd. I didn’t receive a response (even an automated email rejection) to over 50% of the hundred or so applications I submitted during my last job search. Half of the companies to whom I applied didn’t even acknowledge that I applied to work there.
