I mean that's what he's also addressing, they might be to busy and may have just over thought the hiring process. But you are right. I wouldn't mind feedback at a quicker time. But it also shows that you want the position and willing to give the employer an understanding that you determined for the position. Stay hungry homie.
Right. I got an interview four days ago, got no call back about starting (after she told me personally she wanted me to start work asap). It's rude as hell and I'm sick of waiting for a call that might not come when I could be out there looking for another job.
Sir, I disagree. If an employer is really interested in hiring you, they will get back to you one way or another. It doesn't matter how busy or what obstacles they are facing.
Right And his videos it seems like he’s defending the person that’s giving you the interview but I think there are questions that they should not ask you like tell me your weakness and you can’t lie to them and tell them that you don’t have any weakness because we’re all human but it’s funny because I believe a lot of times they used a negative questions to their advantage to not hire you
I agree with you completely...if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't give a second thought to throwing you in the "scrapheap"...and although he gave a brilliant example about his son's experience with Subway, they "lost" his application and didn't know how to reach him???...I smell a pure "lie" with that one!...it was probably more a case of "whoever is the first person to walk in that door looking for a job and will accept an immediate interview is the one we'll give the job too"...
Sadly that's like 99% of the companies in SEA where I'm at. Ghosting after an interview is the norm whatever the reasons might be. Even after you requested them to let you know, them giving you a timeline, you following up with another email or phone call etc. No answer...
Doesn’t matter, what’s for YOU will be for YOU. Rocked an interview and waited, called, e-mailed and 3 weeks later they sent and e-mail saying I was not selected. That’s life.
Yes it's life but I feel that the whole system needs to change. Companies feel that as employees we have to bend to their needs but they forget it is a two way road because as someone seeking for a job we also have to see if that job fits my needs. I have refused a job I applied for because afterwards I noticed it wasn't what I thought it was. So basically we as employees also look for the best companies.
This happens to me ALL the time! I make it through all the interview tiers and get great feedback from the search committees, then I get ghosted. It’s the most frustrating thing! Especially since I’m trying to get out of a toxic work environment
Sometimes companies will interview people when there are no jobs to be filled because they're looking for information about what their competitors are doing or paying and to get free advise on how to fix their problems.
.... But not calling back when they said they would is lack of courtesy. If it was the other way around the job seeker would have been deemed as rud and as a turn off. A person should never have to show desperation for a job....losing an appliction means that it can happen to the best of us as we are humans. These things happen. So employers should not be too hard on hiring ppl. I know they are seeking the best candidate for the job but some of them could be a lot different.
@@genew5758 Ok I understand to some extent but they should not say they would call knowing they are not going to. To me that's not being truthful to your word. The qualities employers expect from potential employees are the same qualities they should exhibit.
Rubbish if the expectation of the applicant is to turn up to an intiview its common decency & professionalism to contact the applicant with an outcome wether thats an offer or a declination. If they dont thats just lazy & rude.
Sadly that's like 99% of the companies in SEA where I'm at. Ghosting after an interview is the norm whatever the reasons might be. Even after you requested them to let you know, them giving you a timeline, you following up with another email or phone call etc. No answer...
@@joyeuph yes sadly thats true - but treat it as a blessing because if they treat you so disrespectful whilst applying imagine how they would treat you if they employed you. It's disgusting dont feel bad for not ever getting that job if its not your door it wont open & that truly is a blessing in disguise.
I applied for a job at a hospital & the interview went great. I never heard from the company again. I gave up on them & was looking for another job. About 1 month later they called & gave me the job! They apologized for taking so long to get back to me but they said they had gotten very busy with other issues so the hiring process had been delayed. I am still working for them 7 years later.
Maybe They send the offer to another person who turned down the offer? And then it's your term. I figure not sending out the rejection message is one way for the company to secure an employee because you can not just assume people will accept your offer when employees are also interviewing many companies at the same time.
Lol 😅 these employers always say “at the end of the week” because they’re looking for “the best candidate”… the “best” one doesn’t exist… It’s all in your head. They think they know everything 😂😂😂 Hiring other people over someone who they said performed well in the trial shift or interview… lol… They left you job searching for a month because they didn’t know what they were looking for leaving a good worker on the dust. I did a trial shift and they said I was good (two people said I was good!) They said they’ll let me know at the end of the week, it’s been two weeks no reply 😅
Exactly the mf jobs be lying like a mf we fr get ready for a interview drive or take the bus there wasting our time for no mf phone call back wtf I don’t get ts 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣
*Not calling back shows irresponsibility, I’d be glad to go look somewhere else than to work for a company that flake on potential employees either to continue with the hire process or to let the person know they’re not what they’re in search for.*
@@DonGeorgevich The best way to go about it is to avoid HR altogether in the interviewing process and get a job interview with the hieing manager of even better yet the supervisor of the department that you applied for. Now this is not a garentee that you will get the job but, it just eliminates more variables and hurtles that are in your way. I can not tell you how many times I have been interviewed by a 21year old child. One HR department that was so unprofessional that the HR person that I scheduled an interview for got fired several days before the scheduled interview and the other ladies in HR had no idea that I was coming for the interview. I was never given a job offer which is a good thing because if the HR department is not capable of doing a simple pass down of information when they are leaving. I really do not want to know what the rest of the companies managers, supervises, team leads etc. were like. Whats even better is when you go to an HR interviewer that does no know anything about the job they are interviewing people for. You sit there for thirty minuets to an hour during the interview slowly felling your IQ and life force being sucked through a straw. Companies cant figure out what they are not getting qualified people in their companies. Here is a thought train your HR department on how to properly conduct an interview and have some basic knowledge about the job that you are interviewing someone for. I'm not HR what do I know that's just my opinion.
@@DonGeorgevich My advice is don't dwell on not getting the position. After an interview, if you feel you don't not get the job APPLY for other positions. Apply for other positions immediately after your interview. Until you receive an official offer letter, YOU NOT GET THE JOB. Please do not put all of your eggs in one basket. You have to have more than one option. In a lot of cases option 1,2,3,4 and 5. If you don't hear back from a company after an interview after two to three weeks, move on from them before they move on from you. That way, when or if you do hear from them and the company informs you that the decided on another candidate, that company will already have been in your recycling bin of dead end career opportunities.
Interviewing is tough these days. Many times they will post a position internally and externally and already have a candidate in mind internally but still have to put on the dog and pony show that they interviewed a handful of candidates. There are times when you don't even have a real chance regardless of what you say or how well the interview went.They have no qualms about wasting people's time though. I wish they would just offer promotions to people who earned it like in the old days rather than making people post out for positions and then having external candidates go through all that and get their hopes up when its a farce to begin with.
Derek Gabrys it happened to me many times going to interview and someone else was selected internally . I am not sure why these employers waste people time !!!!
I agree this one employer I got there before the scheduled interview time and he had me waiting in the lobby for 45 minutes I was pissed. No had I been late lower Jesus that is not fair I don’t work for those kind of employers I’ll see the red flags and I run
From my experience, if I was interested in hiring an employee, I wouldn't leave them hanging. I generally call the same day as the interview to offer a job or at least within 2 days.
I have noticed that whenever I got an offer, it was one or two days after my interview, or no longer than a week. If they really want you, they won't make you wait too long.
They don't even have the respect to let you know if you didn't get the job; even if you follow up with them. With caller ID they don't answer the phone, or even if someone else answers the phone they ask your name and you get sent to the voicemail. Send email and they still don't reply. Damn rude of them.
yeah, it seems to be a huge habit with employers they never let prospective applicants know their status. I really hate that they are rude and inconsiderate.
There have been some recent strategies that say that when calling to follow up just hang up when reaching voicemail and try back another time rather than leave a message that becomes low priority. Also, with most phone systems, IT can pull the records to see if the called party answered the call, transferred it, let it go to voicemail, etc. Most such positions require a voice mail log to be kept and they would expect to see a log of such calls over a certain period. If the called party is simply ignoring most or all calls or deleting messages, this will nail them real quick.
If they really like you, they will not take weeks to call you back. I don't care what the excuse is. They will at least update you. It's just common decency. This happened to me recently where they even advertise on their site how they take a week to respond. I contacted the recruiter and no response. Anyways, I got an offer from a different company who was always in constant contact with me and actually acted like they wanted me. Other companies were also interested so I know I'm a strong candidate. If they like you, they will show it.
It's incredibly rude for the company to not let someone know either way. What needs to come together is a pre-made form letter to provide closure one way or another. To not reply is rude and unprofessional. People go out of their way, make arrangements and sometimes take risks with their current employers to make these interviews. I agree, sometimes things happen - it's a good idea to contact the company if it's been a while. But sometimes those hiring will not even respond to phone calls or emails. Interviewees are supposed to be at their best - courteous, professional, articulate and they bend over backward for the interviewer, who should show the same respect to the candidate. Makes one question the integrity of the company when they behave so badly.
Thank you for confirming , Don. I wasn't complaining about your video - that had great as usual and is a great reminder about how things can happen and so not to give up. I'm just bitter as I've seen so much rude behavior during my hubby's job search the last few months. Thanks for all you do! 💖
@@randyndawna | I am not a hiring manager, but I can tell you their trade secret: NEVER contact candidates who will not get the job. Why? Because the rejected candidate will ask why and you must carefully give a reason without sounding like its discrimination (ex: because you're too old, or you're a woman, and such). And you have no idea how the losing candidate will react. Conversations like this can go downhill very quickly. Its better to be silent in this situation. Never calling back is usually the obvious sign the job has been filled.
@@MoniqueFromPlymouth Still it's no excuse, its like an employee not informing something important/hiding something from the superior in fear that they may be criticized. I mean they should be trained enough to create a standardised template email to professionally inform that the job application will not progress further
@@devrsingh854 You will not understand until you become the one doing the hiring. I know your approach is to let every rejected candidate know they are not getting the job - and some will NOT take it well and will be convinced they were discriminated - regardless of what "standardised template email" you have, they already have their minds set that the reason they did not land the job was because they are a person of color, their age, their gender, and such. Once that employment lawyer from one of those you turned away shows up at your workplace due to whatever you said to their client, your approach will instantly change to silence. Not hearing back from an employer at all actually deters any employment lawyer from showing up because that employer literally said nothing. Its called liability issues. Keep in mind the practice of not hearing back after applying for any job has started since the beginning of time. Its still the way to go. Just wait two weeks for a phone call, if it never materializes, just move on.
If the employer doesn’t call me back he is not Interested, and they are using that to sound nice, but on the other hand if that employer doesn’t call me within a reasonable time or at least communicate to let me know there are some issues or delays, then I really would think twice about working for that company… nothing excuses lack of communication, the recruiting process says a lot about a company trust me.
I had employers who told me that if I don't hear anything from them by *insert date here* then I am to assume that they wanted to go different paths. That is all they had to say. None of that bs that they will keep in touch.
Yes, towards the end of the job interview, ALWAYS ask the employer on when they are going to make a hiring decision. Their answer should be crystal clear. That way, calling them back to ask about your job status will not be necessary.
@@Lia-hd7rh | If they say that, then it is two weeks after your interview. If you do not hear from them by then, its time to move on with your job search...
@@MoniqueFromPlymouth well today they reposted the same job I went for under their parent company name but the title/description all the same. idk seems shady and like they're wasting time while someone internally will go for it and get it.
At least, I think, this will be best and sustainable ways for both candidates and employers. A candidate spend much time and efforts to apply a job, they are deserved a reply even not be hired. just a several minutes call or even a email to tell the result can help so much whatever in releasing pressure, focusing efforts on other positions, etc. Instead of waiting and guess what happen to the company, why they show interesting, promise to call, but did nothing, candidate can move forward. Rejection is so common in real life. A jobseeker can easily handle it. Some people may say, this is costing so much time and money, this sounds very interesting. There are so many free technology can be easily used to reply to candidates in just few clicks.
@@osazuwaogbeide1540 Not everyone has the same opportunities to just "start your own business". Nor do we get money for nothing. Kind of a prick comment on your part.
@@thirdgen377 quit making excuses you live in one of the most advanced play res in the world that the problem with people like you that are lazy. Take business courses online do certifications come up with ideas it not that damn hard
I just experienced this situation. I applied for a job and they disclosed that there were over 300 applicants. Over the course of three weeks, I interviewed with nine people from the company (yes, 9 people). I drove an hour each way for a physical interview and a test. It was a basic allocation of resources test and I nailed it within five minutes. I was told that it was between me and one other person that would be selected to get the job. They explicitly stated that they "wouldn't leave me hanging" and I would be informed of their decision within six days at the most. I left an extremely friendly and positive voicemail after 10 days of not hearing anything back. Still no callback. Even if they called me at this point and offered me a job, I'd tell them to stick it. If a company can't do something as basic as letting you know your standing, it's a great indication that they have no respect for their employees.
I agree! I'm in the same situation too. It's frustrating when these recruiters/employers have that default stupid view of "well, that's life/that's reality", as if being rude to other people and disrespecting their time is just considered a normal part of life.
No shade to you sir who made this video this isn’t your fault that’s BS it’s all about communication ,no one wants to be held up in limbo or feeling not valuable and stupid it’s a matter of communication. To send an email or a quick text letting people know what’s going on take very very little time and effort. The biggest thing I gained from this video if you say just because you don’t hear anything after the interview does not mean they are not interested and I thank you for that. BUT they STILL need to communicate!
This is a red flag. If you have to reach out to an employer multiple times and you get a job offer, don’t be surprised when you are an employee and they take weeks and weeks to follow up with you regarding other issues... this seems like bad business. I’m sure a company such is this has a high turn over rate.
If they’re not even putting in the time to call me after they said they would, I wouldn’t work wanna there anyways. Too unprofessional. I might’ve passed their side of the interview but they didn’t pass mine. Simple 🤝😎
i never call employers after interviews even when they tell we will call you . there is 2 scenario : 1- they are not interested , so why should i call them , if they are not interested or they find a better candidate ?? 2- they are too busy . so if i call them , they will be annoyed , because they have stuff more important than my case . besides , they will see me as desperate , as someone who is harrasing them Conclusion : if they ghost you , you ghost them !! you don't stop searching until you get an official offer ( not an oral offer but a written offer )
That's right ✅👏👌 [Avoiding to get my regret letter - I prefer: 🤫!] I think if we start calling, probably they will disrespect us and we dirty our values as potential candidate.
Yep! I don't send a "Thank you" letter. I came in for the interview so I must be interested in job. If I'm not I wouldn't have applied and actually came for the interview
Hey Don I've watched so many of your videos and I can't thank you enough for all the helpful tips and how to be confident beginning with writing resumes to getting prepared for an interview and a follow up post interview. I can't speak for everyone but you put my mind at ease and giving me some hope. Thanks so much for all you do.
This is something I'm currently going through right now while I'm currently working at a job I hate. I had an interview for a position that aligned with what I went to college for last Thursday, and I thought it went pretty well. I demonstrated how much of a hard worker I tend to be and willing to learn new things and do the work. I told them my potential starting date, which is this coming Monday, considering they need someone right away. They also told me they'll notify me either Friday of last week or Tuesday at the latest, which is today (They were off yesterday because it was President's Day). I've been checking my email all day today, and I haven't heard a word from them. I want to take it as a "No," but from what you're saying in the video, it gives me quite of a hope, and it helps me to keep an open mind. While I applied for other jobs, I'm hoping to get the one I recently went for an interview for because it's something that'll help me to jump start my IT Career. Keeping my fingers crossed!
Dude, don't give us false hope like that. If the company isn't interested they won't call. If they are they call. Interviewers and recruiters lie to make you sit by the phone with anticipation of a response. But it never comes.
@@DonGeorgevichMaybe not intentionally but they don't care about you if you don't get the job. If they don't hire you, they don't give you a second thought.
A number of follow-ups and still not getting a response is rudeness, incompetence, and a solid sign of internal chaos. You don't want to be a part of that messy organization.
Hanifati Imanina Subki I send them an email asking if I am done with the process or still they are undergoing more stuff they replied me back with an offer letter
I beg to disagree with all these things. I usually send follow-ups a week after the interview and still no reply. Stop cheering us up with all these lies. If an employer does not reply to your message, that’s it. It’s over. I’d rather hear the worst things with my application from the employer or interviewer than expect empty promises.
I’m so sick of the double standard in the work environment. If it were the other way around, we’d be expected to respond immediately. Same with two week notices; they aren’t expected to give you notice, but we are?
This doesn't address the issue I have, however. At the end of EVERY interview, I specifically ask them if they'll get back to me even if I don't get the job. Every single hiring manager has said "yes!" in some clearly understood form or another. However, they NEVER do. I'm not exaggerating here. They ALWAYS promise and they NEVER follow through on that promise. Obviously, I want to be hired, but this isn't even about that. It's about employers showing the most basic level of decency and common courtesy to do what you said you would. People often respond here with, "Well, you dodged a bullet, who'd want to work in a place like that anyway?" I'd agree if this was an anomaly, but it's actually the norm, so it gets to a point where you either think that no company is worth working for (and there are those who promote that line of thinking) or you end up having to endure countless waves of dishonesty. Let me be clear here: I'm not upset at not getting the job. My issue here is simply that if someone promises they'll do something, they should do it. If employers have no intention of ever getting back to candidates they've interviewed who don't make the cut, that's fine, but TELL ME. Don't act like you'll do something you'll never do. Unfortunately, expecting people to be honest and keep to their word seems to be a hopeless endeavor, so at this point, I don't trust anything any hiring manager says because no hiring manager has ever given me reason to trust them. Some people would say that I shouldn't let bad experiences color my interactions, but at what point do I go from "keeping an open mind" to "acting like a naive fool" when I'm repeatedly lied to or misled?
Thank you very much for your information. I was going on same situation. By listening to this I got encouraged to call to the company and they gave me positive feedback! Thank you again🙏
I applied to dominos and I probably got ghosted cause the manager said. Few days to me few days is like 4 or 3 days and no call back yet ;-; I hope they call me back for Popeyes cause I applied for that as well
Great video sir , I sitting in India away from 10,000 km from you and get inspiration and courage with this video and call back my interviewer company to know what happen to my job candidature...
I'm in this final phase now too. Last Thursday they said early to mid next week, now the waiting turns to anxiety. I'm waiting until tomorrow afternoon to reach out, I think that would be enough time. I already sent a professional thank you e-mail yesterday. Hopes not dashed yet!
I just don’t get it why some employers do not have the balls to inform and reject their applicants in their specified timeline that way the applicants can move on easily to another opportunities instead of wasting time waiting for their response.
An employer told me they no longer give feedback to why people didn't get the job because they got a lot of people responding with abuse, death threats or threats of lawsuits.
I just had this situation happened to me and it's scary because the place I applied it was basically a 2 week process where there was an interview and then a tasting, both of them went great and they even gave me good points and when they said they would let me know what they decided they didn't so I emailed them and told me they weren't going to move forward, not only was I blindsided because they never said anything bad but I was extremely disappointed because places nowadays are very untrusting of employees and they want to see how you work but they don't understand that we also have needs and as employees and we can't invest so much time in a interview process. What also bothered me is that they couldn't even tell me why I wasn't chosen. I felt like I deserved at least that. It really is discouraging.
I totally agree with your comment, recently been applying to jobs but I just most of the time I chose to ask the good question pay rate if is not what you looking for, move on. And as a interview yeah I just request 2 days because it was a 2 round and that was only for 1 job. But good luck.
@@DonGeorgevich I was wondering whether it would be possible to make a video where you explain how to prepare for an interview the night before the big day and how you would be prepared for an interview for example if it is in a school
I got an even worse situation they employed my classmates that will get exactly the same degree. They got two interviews yet they never asked me for a first. I emailed them just to get some clarification on which criteria I didn’t fill yet they never answered.
One day has passed since they said that they were going to call me, and they said themselves that the interview went well. So I'll until Monday to see if they will call. Thank you so much!
I jsut went through an interview process with a tech firm. I prepared for the interview and did the best I ever have. Took all the advice from the job coaches Etc. Was told I'd hear back by Friday but by Friday no word. I knew they were calling the people they were hiring and waiting till whenever to notify those who were not hired. I have a ticket for expired Car tag. Since taken care of that. My credit is otherwie perfect. I let the tag lapse on purpose part of a protest in WA state when we voted in 30 dollar car tags and the govt tied it up in court and got a shady judge to toss it out. Was this enough to cause me to be passed by?
From my experience, I can get a good idea if a company would be a good fit. Some throw attitude if you follow up with them, some make you do a 200+ question assessment that I honestly think if it has nothing to do with the job, what’s the point. Luckily I dodged a bullet with a company that wanted to give me the “job offer” after a 410 questionnaire regarding medical sales. Not a single medical question asked, after reading horrible employee reviews about the company, I told them this questionnaire is more of a headache than I want to put up with. And the fact I had to fill it out manually and scan everything back was another massive headache. So I told them although I appreciate their time, I’m rescinding my application and 2nd phase interview because the questionnaire was too much of a headache for me to deal with... I mean 410 questions... asking me about gambling and that I should circle yes when I don’t even gamble... seriously???
So sick of interviews calling and not heating anything or getting a email from the company that they went for another candidate. I am a recent survivor of cervical cancer stage 1 . At this point I am living on unemployment waiting to file for disability benefits. Fuck it to try and find a job out here . I have interviewed three time at one company nothing .
I notice that the interviews that I was sure I did well and felt strongly about I didn’t get the offer. Interviews where I was unsure about how I did, I got those offers. It’s weird.
Sometimes HR can get backed up at big companies and you are not always the first priority on their list. Especially in summer and during busy times of the year. Normally after a week I write them off if I don't hear back but I know a co-worker of mine who literally followed up like 3 times and got hired almost 3 months after they started the interview process.So yeah, 80 % of the time they haven't called because you didn't get the job but sometimes HR is just backlogged or a manager may be on vacation or something that needs to sign off on an offer letter.
I am in a similar situation, I had 2 rounds of interview done, (brilliantly performed) the 2nd one was the Managerial round, and with everything went perfect, I was told by the Manager that I will be contacted next week, and that never happened. The HR called back the following week and informed there will be another round of discussion based on the panel availability. This is the 4th week post the 2nd round of interview, and I haven't heard anything after that. I had called again the HR to enquire about my candidature, and she seems to be not interested to pick up my call. When I see my status in the organization portal (candidate page), it shows the "Application is still under review" . Any pointers, what should be done next? I have 2 options left now...(1) - Email the HR and ask for the status (I am pretty much sure, there won't be any response) and (2) I found the Manager who took my 2nd round, on LinkedIn and can message (send Inmail) him. Again not sure if that will be rude as the Manager is my 3rd connection in LinkedIn. Any suggestions ? TIA
Oh my goshhh… it’s been two years, I wonder if you’ll reply 😅 What did they do? They probably didn’t hire you even though you were excellent and was willing to stick around multiple rounds😂😂😂 These employers are so…😊
It's cowardice when they don't call back, especially when they said that they would. I am about to drive up there to tell them that to their face. I had two "working interviews" which essentially filled lack of staffing for two nights. I don't even want the job anymore. It's the principle of the matter.
Guys please don’t hesitate to call. I called today and the manager told me the recruiters are piled up with new employees and they should call me soon with an offer.
Hello Don, I really enjoyed your videos! However I never came across anything on government positions. Do you have advice for city government positions on when to follow up? It's been about 3 weeks, and I e-mailed everyone on the panel interview a thank you letter. Everything on the internet says it takes months for government jobs to call back? Would you still follow up weeks after an interview? Thanks
This is common practice these days, they are afraid of a follow up as they could say the wrong thing about why you did not get the job (slip of the lip syndrome). So their law/legal do not want any further contact with prospective applicants if they were not chosen.
They are under no obligation to tell you why they selected a different candidate. A simple "we're going a different direction" will suffice. If you commit to a candidate that you will let them know of their standing and don't follow through, it says more about that company than it does the candidates.
I want to share my experience to help others: I interviewed one time, expecting to have another in 3-4 days. But it was silent until 2 weeks passed. And then another interview was scheduled and in the interview there were 3 interviewers at once. I was taken aback at the screen I was watching but gradually it turned into my excitement. After the interview (1hour), it comes another silence but this time I become more comfortable strangely... It is thanks to the comfort from God. (Jesus Christ). Even if I don't know yet the result. And comfortably, I'm waiting now.
Technical Manager said ....."There are several candidates to be interviewed. After that, we will definitely get back to you"....What does it mean? Positive sign or negative sign? On the same day, she accepted my LinkedIn connection request.
My situation is I was interviewed and called back processing physical and background check. I’m been waiting for 3 months for the results of background!!! I’m clean and not a criminal. All good on my end.
Applied for six jobs I was qualified for. Did not recieve a call back because they went with another candidate. The other four jobs just never kept me in the loop.
What if i reply immediately to book a time slot for an interview but the email goes into his outbox and therefor doesn't book me for an interview and i miss out on the job ? Am i able to sue for incompetents ?
I'm going through this right now. I interviewed last month and everything went well. The HR person asked if I could interview with the hiring manager. I then contacted the HR person twice and he told me that the position is on hold because the manager was allocating the work. Not sure if they're still interested in me.
Went to an interview Monday and didn't do that great first round, actually bombed it some, went on a tour with the floor manager which was a defacto second interview and a litmus to see if I would like it and was compatible, I did like but didn't say anything and then kicking myself because I really want to get in. It is a very good company to work for in my area, and it would give me an opportunity to move up which I did not have in my last job. Going to call them back and leave a message. It's been over 2 days and I do know that they need workers.
My interview went well, the owner said “let’s proceed; I need three references and a driver’s abstract.” I provided everything they needed. Every few days the editor reaches out to me and says “just checking in to make sure you sent everything in to the boss?” I said yes…and reminded him my references are waiting for a call. No calls to my references - 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
My last job interview went really well I felt, I even sent a thank you email to them after. They said they would call me in a week which was last Saturday but I still haven’t heard back from them. I really hope they’re still considering me for hire.
I had three interviews with the same company and they all went very well. The last interview was with the president and it seemed that it went very well. He said that the hiring recruiter will be in touch with you in a week. Never heard back.
Hello. I had a 2nd job interview with a major company about 4 weeks ago. The interview went well and I asked at the end when should I expect a response from them, which they said maybe two weeks. After two weeks, I haven't heard anything and sent a followup email. I've repeated this process 3 times with no response from the recruiter. I was able to make contact with the department head for the position I was aiming for, but they told me I would be informed by the recruiter for any followups. How should I proceed next? Should I call? On as side note, my first interview was with the recruiter and she admitted she is new to the position. She informed me the department head was also the hiring manager, but when i made contact with the department head, they informed me I was to receive all info from the recruiter for the next phase of the hiring process. I'm so confused.
Well, I did an interview yesterday they said I'll tell my boss to hire you and they said they will give me a link for my background check once I was finished with that I'll start but, every time when they "said" the link was sent I didn't receive but, I know for a fact my email is working my brother was sending me links it was working perfectly I don't know why is this a way of saying no? It's Jack in a box job by the way.
Yes and that is precisely what many of us have done dozens of times; leaving voicemail messages, leaving messages with reception, even dropping by in person, and what happens? Precisely nothing. No response to those attempts either.
This is pretty good advice. There are times when employers don't get back to you because they're not interested but it is certainly possible that there are issues in their end, especially during covid. I had a situation where I hadn't heard back after 1 month and I eventually contacted them only to find out that I got the position but they just had some administration issues and a covid outbreak which delayed things longer than they expected. Definitely follow up after one week (or whatever time period they gave you) has passed after the interview.
@@pandaexpress7673exactly mf jobs should call u to see if we got it or not we over here stressing over something and we got ready for our job interview many people would like a phone call or email takes a couple minutes of there time it’s so disrespectful I called this job I went to an interview for an left a voice mail yet no mf call back gave her my number 😒😒😒
I had an employer tell me that they no longer do it by phone, because a lot of people don't take rejection too well, to the extent that he got abuse, death threats and threats of lawsuits for rejecting them. He claimed it almost bordered on stalker levels in a couple of cases. I have noticed that when I am rejected, it is always by text or e-mail (where you can't respond to it) but every offer has been by phone call or in person, to personally offer me the job. So it is as much based on the method as anything to let you know how you went.
Okay, so what if the interview went really well but they didn’t say they’d call you, they just said you should hear something in a week or two and it’s been three? I know one of only 3 candidates interviewed.
At least call back and let us know if we have the job or not.
That would be great ! 😫
I mean that's what he's also addressing, they might be to busy and may have just over thought the hiring process. But you are right. I wouldn't mind feedback at a quicker time. But it also shows that you want the position and willing to give the employer an understanding that you determined for the position. Stay hungry homie.
Right. I got an interview four days ago, got no call back about starting (after she told me personally she wanted me to start work asap). It's rude as hell and I'm sick of waiting for a call that might not come when I could be out there looking for another job.
They invented Ghosting
Bunch of irresponsible company’s
Sir, I disagree. If an employer is really interested in hiring you, they will get back to you one way or another. It doesn't matter how busy or what obstacles they are facing.
Facts
Right And his videos it seems like he’s defending the person that’s giving you the interview but I think there are questions that they should not ask you like tell me your weakness and you can’t lie to them and tell them that you don’t have any weakness because we’re all human but it’s funny because I believe a lot of times they used a negative questions to their advantage to not hire you
I agree with you completely...if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't give a second thought to throwing you in the "scrapheap"...and although he gave a brilliant example about his son's experience with Subway, they "lost" his application and didn't know how to reach him???...I smell a pure "lie" with that one!...it was probably more a case of "whoever is the first person to walk in that door looking for a job and will accept an immediate interview is the one we'll give the job too"...
@@iamthegame09 so true. That’s why I had interviews
People make mistakes, applications can get lost
It's rude and unprofessional for them not to call you back or not give you an update.
agreed.
I agree, I had the same problem when I went for job interviews in the past.
Sadly that's like 99% of the companies in SEA where I'm at. Ghosting after an interview is the norm whatever the reasons might be. Even after you requested them to let you know, them giving you a timeline, you following up with another email or phone call etc. No answer...
@@joyeuphYou're no longer of any use to them.
Doesn’t matter, what’s for YOU will be for YOU. Rocked an interview and waited, called,
e-mailed and 3 weeks later they sent and e-mail saying I was not selected. That’s life.
Yes it's life but I feel that the whole system needs to change. Companies feel that as employees we have to bend to their needs but they forget it is a two way road because as someone seeking for a job we also have to see if that job fits my needs. I have refused a job I applied for because afterwards I noticed it wasn't what I thought it was. So basically we as employees also look for the best companies.
This happens to me ALL the time! I make it through all the interview tiers and get great feedback from the search committees, then I get ghosted. It’s the most frustrating thing! Especially since I’m trying to get out of a toxic work environment
ur hot
Sometimes companies will interview people when there are no jobs to be filled because they're looking for information about what their competitors are doing or paying and to get free advise on how to fix their problems.
Have you had some offers since you posted this? I hope so. It is certainly a job seekers market. Very different compared to 16 months ago.
Yup. Same.
SAME
.... But not calling back when they said they would is lack of courtesy. If it was the other way around the job seeker would have been deemed as rud and as a turn off. A person should never have to show desperation for a job....losing an appliction means that it can happen to the best of us as we are humans. These things happen. So employers should not be too hard on hiring ppl. I know they are seeking the best candidate for the job but some of them could be a lot different.
This happened to be a few times. And it's ridiculous.
Employers don't hire nor seek the best candidate all the time unfortunately.
@@sucram1015 No they don't!
Companies generally choose not to call someone back on whether or not they got the job because they don't want potential lawsuits.
@@genew5758 Ok I understand to some extent but they should not say they would call knowing they are not going to. To me that's not being truthful to your word. The qualities employers expect from potential employees are the same qualities they should exhibit.
Rubbish if the expectation of the applicant is to turn up to an intiview its common decency & professionalism to contact the applicant with an outcome wether thats an offer or a declination. If they dont thats just lazy & rude.

@@Sept1973 thank you for your kind words 🙂 they made my day! Wishing you all the best in your endeavours.
@@joyeuph It is 95 percent of how companies are now in 2021. It is extremely rude and toxic. Ghosting is not a healthy thing in any way.
Exactly... Tell the candidate if yes or no than to keep them waiting n putting them on pressure
I applied for a job at a hospital & the interview went great. I never heard from the company again. I gave up on them & was looking for another job. About 1 month later they called & gave me the job! They apologized for taking so long to get back to me but they said they had gotten very busy with other issues so the hiring process had been delayed. I am still working for them 7 years later.
They probably hired someone else over you and that person didn't work out; so they called you.
@@genew5758 This happened to me with the Roofers union..people are crazy lol
Maybe They send the offer to another person who turned down the offer? And then it's your term. I figure not sending out the rejection message is one way for the company to secure an employee because you can not just assume people will accept your offer when employees are also interviewing many companies at the same time.
You probably were a back to them
Lol 😅 these employers always say “at the end of the week” because they’re looking for “the best candidate”… the “best” one doesn’t exist…
It’s all in your head. They think they know everything 😂😂😂
Hiring other people over someone who they said performed well in the trial shift or interview… lol…
They left you job searching for a month because they didn’t know what they were looking for leaving a good worker on the dust.
I did a trial shift and they said I was good (two people said I was good!) They said they’ll let me know at the end of the week, it’s been two weeks no reply 😅
Yes! It doesn't mean they're not interested... it just means they're rude and don't value your time
Couldn't said it better myself...
Exactly 💯
Exactly the mf jobs be lying like a mf we fr get ready for a interview drive or take the bus there wasting our time for no mf phone call back wtf I don’t get ts 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤣
If they are rude and don't value your time, you don't want them to be interested in you.
*Not calling back shows irresponsibility, I’d be glad to go look somewhere else than to work for a company that flake on potential employees either to continue with the hire process or to let the person know they’re not what they’re in search for.*
Agreed
@@DonGeorgevich The best way to go about it is to avoid HR altogether in the interviewing process and get a job interview with the hieing manager of even better yet the supervisor of the department that you applied for. Now this is not a garentee that you will get the job but, it just eliminates more variables and hurtles that are in your way.
I can not tell you how many times I have been interviewed by a 21year old child. One HR department that was so unprofessional that the HR person that I scheduled an interview for got fired several days before the scheduled interview and the other ladies in HR had no idea that I was coming for the interview. I was never given a job offer which is a good thing because if the HR department is not capable of doing a simple pass down of information when they are leaving. I really do not want to know what the rest of the companies managers, supervises, team leads etc. were like.
Whats even better is when you go to an HR interviewer that does no know anything about the job they are interviewing people for. You sit there for thirty minuets to an hour during the interview slowly felling your IQ and life force being sucked through a straw.
Companies cant figure out what they are not getting qualified people in their companies. Here is a thought train your HR department on how to properly conduct an interview and have some basic knowledge about the job that you are interviewing someone for. I'm not HR what do I know that's just my opinion.
@@DonGeorgevich My advice is don't dwell on not getting the position. After an interview, if you feel you don't not get the job APPLY for other positions. Apply for other positions immediately after your interview. Until you receive an official offer letter, YOU NOT GET THE JOB.
Please do not put all of your eggs in one basket. You have to have more than one option. In a lot of cases option 1,2,3,4 and 5. If you don't hear back from a company after an interview after two to three weeks, move on from them before they move on from you. That way, when or if you do hear from them and the company informs you that the decided on another candidate, that company will already have been in your recycling bin of dead end career opportunities.
@@Mr.Majestic77Ok
Interviewing is tough these days. Many times they will post a position internally and externally and already have a candidate in mind internally but still have to put on the dog and pony show that they interviewed a handful of candidates. There are times when you don't even have a real chance regardless of what you say or how well the interview went.They have no qualms about wasting people's time though. I wish they would just offer promotions to people who earned it like in the old days rather than making people post out for positions and then having external candidates go through all that and get their hopes up when its a farce to begin with.
Derek Gabrys it happened to me many times going to interview and someone else was selected internally . I am not sure why these employers waste people time !!!!
@@faezehkhalaj520 In order to keep the things running = HR/recruitment dept had jobs + marketing purpose (to show the company is hiring = developing)
I hope I get a job at Popeyes I interviewed for I was surprised I was the first one
I agree this one employer I got there before the scheduled interview time and he had me waiting in the lobby for 45 minutes I was pissed. No had I been late lower Jesus that is not fair I don’t work for those kind of employers I’ll see the red flags and I run
Why do you have to advertise the job if it is internal?
From my experience, if I was interested in hiring an employee, I wouldn't leave them hanging. I generally call the same day as the interview to offer a job or at least within 2 days.
I have noticed that whenever I got an offer, it was one or two days after my interview, or no longer than a week.
If they really want you, they won't make you wait too long.
I called the HR people and left a message, they called me back and said “who’s Don Georgevich?”
I'm a nobody
They don't even have the respect to let you know if you didn't get the job; even if you follow up with them. With caller ID they don't answer the phone, or even if someone else answers the phone they ask your name and you get sent to the voicemail. Send email and they still don't reply. Damn rude of them.
yeah, it seems to be a huge habit with employers they never let prospective applicants know their status. I really hate that they are rude and inconsiderate.
There have been some recent strategies that say that when calling to follow up just hang up when reaching voicemail and try back another time rather than leave a message that becomes low priority. Also, with most phone systems, IT can pull the records to see if the called party answered the call, transferred it, let it go to voicemail, etc. Most such positions require a voice mail log to be kept and they would expect to see a log of such calls over a certain period. If the called party is simply ignoring most or all calls or deleting messages, this will nail them real quick.
If they really like you, they will not take weeks to call you back. I don't care what the excuse is. They will at least update you. It's just common decency. This happened to me recently where they even advertise on their site how they take a week to respond. I contacted the recruiter and no response. Anyways, I got an offer from a different company who was always in constant contact with me and actually acted like they wanted me. Other companies were also interested so I know I'm a strong candidate. If they like you, they will show it.
When you don’t hear back it means you are unsuccessful regardless of how great you felt the interview went.
Screw them. Better company’s that are more professional and less lazy are out there hiring.
It's incredibly rude for the company to not let someone know either way. What needs to come together is a pre-made form letter to provide closure one way or another. To not reply is rude and unprofessional. People go out of their way, make arrangements and sometimes take risks with their current employers to make these interviews. I agree, sometimes things happen - it's a good idea to contact the company if it's been a while. But sometimes those hiring will not even respond to phone calls or emails. Interviewees are supposed to be at their best - courteous, professional, articulate and they bend over backward for the interviewer, who should show the same respect to the candidate. Makes one question the integrity of the company when they behave so badly.
agreed
Thank you for confirming , Don. I wasn't complaining about your video - that had great as usual and is a great reminder about how things can happen and so not to give up. I'm just bitter as I've seen so much rude behavior during my hubby's job search the last few months. Thanks for all you do! 💖
@@randyndawna | I am not a hiring manager, but I can tell you their trade secret: NEVER contact candidates who will not get the job. Why? Because the rejected candidate will ask why and you must carefully give a reason without sounding like its discrimination (ex: because you're too old, or you're a woman, and such). And you have no idea how the losing candidate will react. Conversations like this can go downhill very quickly. Its better to be silent in this situation. Never calling back is usually the obvious sign the job has been filled.
@@MoniqueFromPlymouth Still it's no excuse, its like an employee not informing something important/hiding something from the superior in fear that they may be criticized. I mean they should be trained enough to create a standardised template email to professionally inform that the job application will not progress further
@@devrsingh854 You will not understand until you become the one doing the hiring. I know your approach is to let every rejected candidate know they are not getting the job - and some will NOT take it well and will be convinced they were discriminated - regardless of what "standardised template email" you have, they already have their minds set that the reason they did not land the job was because they are a person of color, their age, their gender, and such. Once that employment lawyer from one of those you turned away shows up at your workplace due to whatever you said to their client, your approach will instantly change to silence. Not hearing back from an employer at all actually deters any employment lawyer from showing up because that employer literally said nothing. Its called liability issues. Keep in mind the practice of not hearing back after applying for any job has started since the beginning of time. Its still the way to go. Just wait two weeks for a phone call, if it never materializes, just move on.
If the employer doesn’t call me back he is not Interested, and they are using that to sound nice, but on the other hand if that employer doesn’t call me within a reasonable time or at least communicate to let me know there are some issues or delays, then I really would think twice about working for that company… nothing excuses lack of communication, the recruiting process says a lot about a company trust me.
I had employers who told me that if I don't hear anything from them by *insert date here* then I am to assume that they wanted to go different paths. That is all they had to say. None of that bs that they will keep in touch.
Yes, towards the end of the job interview, ALWAYS ask the employer on when they are going to make a hiring decision. Their answer should be crystal clear. That way, calling them back to ask about your job status will not be necessary.
@@MoniqueFromPlymouth I asked and the answer I got from both people is 'when we find the right candidate'
@@Lia-hd7rh | If they say that, then it is two weeks after your interview. If you do not hear from them by then, its time to move on with your job search...
@@MoniqueFromPlymouth well today they reposted the same job I went for under their parent company name but the title/description all the same. idk seems shady and like they're wasting time while someone internally will go for it and get it.
Exactly!
At least, I think, this will be best and sustainable ways for both candidates and employers. A candidate spend much time and efforts to apply a job, they are deserved a reply even not be hired. just a several minutes call or even a email to tell the result can help so much whatever in releasing pressure, focusing efforts on other positions, etc. Instead of waiting and guess what happen to the company, why they show interesting, promise to call, but did nothing, candidate can move forward. Rejection is so common in real life. A jobseeker can easily handle it. Some people may say, this is costing so much time and money, this sounds very interesting. There are so many free technology can be easily used to reply to candidates in just few clicks.
I’ve been submitting job applications and haven’t heard back from any job. I feel cursed :(
Don't feel cursed. Are you customizing your applications to the job description? Are you making cover letters for each job posting?

I just experienced this situation. I applied for a job and they disclosed that there were over 300 applicants. Over the course of three weeks, I interviewed with nine people from the company (yes, 9 people). I drove an hour each way for a physical interview and a test. It was a basic allocation of resources test and I nailed it within five minutes. I was told that it was between me and one other person that would be selected to get the job. They explicitly stated that they "wouldn't leave me hanging" and I would be informed of their decision within six days at the most. I left an extremely friendly and positive voicemail after 10 days of not hearing anything back. Still no callback. Even if they called me at this point and offered me a job, I'd tell them to stick it. If a company can't do something as basic as letting you know your standing, it's a great indication that they have no respect for their employees.
I agree! I'm in the same situation too. It's frustrating when these recruiters/employers have that default stupid view of "well, that's life/that's reality", as if being rude to other people and disrespecting their time is just considered a normal part of life.
💯
No shade to you sir who made this video this isn’t your fault that’s BS it’s all about communication ,no one wants to be held up in limbo or feeling not valuable and stupid it’s a matter of communication. To send an email or a quick text letting people know what’s going on take very very little time and effort. The biggest thing I gained from this video if you say just because you don’t hear anything after the interview does not mean they are not interested and I thank you for that. BUT they STILL need to communicate!

hi Don, I tried this and it worked. They had internal issues and the recruiter himself had moved to another company. I feel better now at least
This is a red flag. If you have to reach out to an employer multiple times and you get a job offer, don’t be surprised when you are an employee and they take weeks and weeks to follow up with you regarding other issues... this seems like bad business. I’m sure a company such is this has a high turn over rate.
it happens
Who cares
If they’re not even putting in the time to call me after they said they would, I wouldn’t work wanna there anyways. Too unprofessional.
I might’ve passed their side of the interview but they didn’t pass mine. Simple 🤝😎
i never call employers after interviews even when they tell we will call you . there is 2 scenario :
1- they are not interested , so why should i call them , if they are not interested or they find a better candidate ??
2- they are too busy . so if i call them , they will be annoyed , because they have stuff more important than my case . besides , they will see me as desperate , as someone who is harrasing them
Conclusion : if they ghost you , you ghost them !! you don't stop searching until you get an official offer ( not an oral offer but a written offer )
Yep I am going to do this. No point showing desperation especially when they are more likely to not receive the call
That's right ✅👏👌
[Avoiding to get my regret letter - I prefer: 🤫!]
I think if we start calling, probably they will disrespect us and we dirty our values as potential candidate.

Thanks so much, Gary.
This is something I'm currently going through right now while I'm currently working at a job I hate. I had an interview for a position that aligned with what I went to college for last Thursday, and I thought it went pretty well. I demonstrated how much of a hard worker I tend to be and willing to learn new things and do the work. I told them my potential starting date, which is this coming Monday, considering they need someone right away. They also told me they'll notify me either Friday of last week or Tuesday at the latest, which is today (They were off yesterday because it was President's Day). I've been checking my email all day today, and I haven't heard a word from them. I want to take it as a "No," but from what you're saying in the video, it gives me quite of a hope, and it helps me to keep an open mind. While I applied for other jobs, I'm hoping to get the one I recently went for an interview for because it's something that'll help me to jump start my IT Career. Keeping my fingers crossed!

@@Punjabilifeinspain Did you call them?
Hanifati Imanina Subki I send them an email asking if I am done with the process or still they are undergoing more stuff they replied me back with an offer letter
I beg to disagree with all these things. I usually send follow-ups a week after the interview and still no reply. Stop cheering us up with all these lies. If an employer does not reply to your message, that’s it. It’s over. I’d rather hear the worst things with my application from the employer or interviewer than expect empty promises.
Finally, someone gets it!
I’m so sick of the double standard in the work environment. If it were the other way around, we’d be expected to respond immediately. Same with two week notices; they aren’t expected to give you notice, but we are?
This doesn't address the issue I have, however. At the end of EVERY interview, I specifically ask them if they'll get back to me even if I don't get the job. Every single hiring manager has said "yes!" in some clearly understood form or another. However, they NEVER do. I'm not exaggerating here. They ALWAYS promise and they NEVER follow through on that promise.
Obviously, I want to be hired, but this isn't even about that. It's about employers showing the most basic level of decency and common courtesy to do what you said you would. People often respond here with, "Well, you dodged a bullet, who'd want to work in a place like that anyway?" I'd agree if this was an anomaly, but it's actually the norm, so it gets to a point where you either think that no company is worth working for (and there are those who promote that line of thinking) or you end up having to endure countless waves of dishonesty.
Let me be clear here: I'm not upset at not getting the job. My issue here is simply that if someone promises they'll do something, they should do it. If employers have no intention of ever getting back to candidates they've interviewed who don't make the cut, that's fine, but TELL ME. Don't act like you'll do something you'll never do.
Unfortunately, expecting people to be honest and keep to their word seems to be a hopeless endeavor, so at this point, I don't trust anything any hiring manager says because no hiring manager has ever given me reason to trust them. Some people would say that I shouldn't let bad experiences color my interactions, but at what point do I go from "keeping an open mind" to "acting like a naive fool" when I'm repeatedly lied to or misled?
Truth☝
That’s not true because after they say they gonna call weeks or days later you see them reupload that same job position to get someone else

many thanks and best of luck to you
Maaan I just called the recruiter and it was positive and at least I'm relieved and know what's happening.
Thank you!
@Don you such a good man, Thanks!
I just don’t get it why some employers do not have the balls to inform and reject their applicants in their specified timeline that way the applicants can move on easily to another opportunities instead of wasting time waiting for their response.
An employer told me they no longer give feedback to why people didn't get the job because they got a lot of people responding with abuse, death threats or threats of lawsuits.
I just had this situation happened to me and it's scary because the place I applied it was basically a 2 week process where there was an interview and then a tasting, both of them went great and they even gave me good points and when they said they would let me know what they decided they didn't so I emailed them and told me they weren't going to move forward, not only was I blindsided because they never said anything bad but I was extremely disappointed because places nowadays are very untrusting of employees and they want to see how you work but they don't understand that we also have needs and as employees and we can't invest so much time in a interview process. What also bothered me is that they couldn't even tell me why I wasn't chosen. I felt like I deserved at least that. It really is discouraging.
I totally agree with your comment, recently been applying to jobs but I just most of the time I chose to ask the good question pay rate if is not what you looking for, move on. And as a interview yeah I just request 2 days because it was a 2 round and that was only for 1 job. But good luck.
@@jonnywick4402 thanks, good luck to you too
It's heart breacking I've been into 6 interviews in different jobs last three months 😭😭😭 I feel like crap
don't let other people control how you feel
Thanks so much for uploading this to RUclips Don your videos are absolutely brilliant
You are very welcome
@@DonGeorgevich I was wondering whether it would be possible to make a video where you explain how to prepare for an interview the night before the big day and how you would be prepared for an interview for example if it is in a school
I already have some last minute interview preps tips on my channel. just search around...
@@DonGeorgevich Thanks
Thanks Don for the tips. I've been waiting so long to hear this. Going to subscribe your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
I got an even worse situation they employed my classmates that will get exactly the same degree. They got two interviews yet they never asked me for a first. I emailed them just to get some clarification on which criteria I didn’t fill yet they never answered.
Thanks Don I really needed this.
glad to help you
One day has passed since they said that they were going to call me, and they said themselves that the interview went well. So I'll until Monday to see if they will call. Thank you so much!
Dis you get a call back?
Thank you so much indeed thank you!
I jsut went through an interview process with a tech firm. I prepared for the interview and did the best I ever have. Took all the advice from the job coaches Etc. Was told I'd hear back by Friday but by Friday no word. I knew they were calling the people they were hiring and waiting till whenever to notify those who were not hired.
I have a ticket for expired Car tag. Since taken care of that. My credit is otherwie perfect. I let the tag lapse on purpose part of a protest in WA state when we voted in 30 dollar car tags and the govt tied it up in court and got a shady judge to toss it out. Was this enough to cause me to be passed by?
From my experience, I can get a good idea if a company would be a good fit. Some throw attitude if you follow up with them, some make you do a 200+ question assessment that I honestly think if it has nothing to do with the job, what’s the point. Luckily I dodged a bullet with a company that wanted to give me the “job offer” after a 410 questionnaire regarding medical sales. Not a single medical question asked, after reading horrible employee reviews about the company, I told them this questionnaire is more of a headache than I want to put up with. And the fact I had to fill it out manually and scan everything back was another massive headache. So I told them although I appreciate their time, I’m rescinding my application and 2nd phase interview because the questionnaire was too much of a headache for me to deal with... I mean 410 questions... asking me about gambling and that I should circle yes when I don’t even gamble... seriously???
So sick of interviews calling and not heating anything or getting a email from the company that they went for another candidate. I am a recent survivor of cervical cancer stage 1 . At this point I am living on unemployment waiting to file for disability benefits. Fuck it to try and find a job out here . I have interviewed three time at one company nothing .
Thanks! This video helped a great deal.
Glad to help you my friend
I notice that the interviews that I was sure I did well and felt strongly about I didn’t get the offer. Interviews where I was unsure about how I did, I got those offers. It’s weird.
it happens more often than not
your videos are very informative. Thanks for your help, i actually just recently secured a huge promotion.
That's awesome! Congrats!
I appreciate this, it really calmed me down coz I was having a near break down.
Sometimes HR can get backed up at big companies and you are not always the first priority on their list. Especially in summer and during busy times of the year. Normally after a week I write them off if I don't hear back but I know a co-worker of mine who literally followed up like 3 times and got hired almost 3 months after they started the interview process.So yeah, 80 % of the time they haven't called because you didn't get the job but sometimes HR is just backlogged or a manager may be on vacation or something that needs to sign off on an offer letter.
As long as they realise that you can't be waiting by the phone for them and if you get another offer before then, then they missed out on you.
may God bless u Sr. i will try now
I am in a similar situation, I had 2 rounds of interview done, (brilliantly performed) the 2nd one was the Managerial round, and with everything went perfect, I was told by the Manager that I will be contacted next week, and that never happened. The HR called back the following week and informed there will be another round of discussion based on the panel availability. This is the 4th week post the 2nd round of interview, and I haven't heard anything after that. I had called again the HR to enquire about my candidature, and she seems to be not interested to pick up my call. When I see my status in the organization portal (candidate page), it shows the "Application is still under review" . Any pointers, what should be done next? I have 2 options left now...(1) - Email the HR and ask for the status (I am pretty much sure, there won't be any response) and (2) I found the Manager who took my 2nd round, on LinkedIn and can message (send Inmail) him. Again not sure if that will be rude as the Manager is my 3rd connection in LinkedIn. Any suggestions ? TIA
Oh my goshhh… it’s been two years, I wonder if you’ll reply 😅
What did they do? They probably didn’t hire you even though you were excellent and was willing to stick around multiple rounds😂😂😂
These employers are so…😊
Thank you very much 🥳, this is true !!!!
Glad it was helpful!
It's cowardice when they don't call back, especially when they said that they would. I am about to drive up there to tell them that to their face. I had two "working interviews" which essentially filled lack of staffing for two nights. I don't even want the job anymore. It's the principle of the matter.
I don't know if I'd say "cowardice", but certainly unprofessional.
Thankyou So much after this video I got a courage to pick my phone & made a call 🥰🙌
Guys please don’t hesitate to call. I called today and the manager told me the recruiters are piled up with new employees and they should call me soon with an offer.
Hello Don, I really enjoyed your videos! However I never came across anything on government positions. Do you have advice for city government positions on when to follow up? It's been about 3 weeks, and I e-mailed everyone on the panel interview a thank you letter. Everything on the internet says it takes months for government jobs to call back? Would you still follow up weeks after an interview? Thanks
This is common practice these days, they are afraid of a follow up as they could say the wrong thing about why you did not get the job (slip of the lip syndrome). So their law/legal do not want any further contact with prospective applicants if they were not chosen.
So tacky!
They are under no obligation to tell you why they selected a different candidate. A simple "we're going a different direction" will suffice. If you commit to a candidate that you will let them know of their standing and don't follow through, it says more about that company than it does the candidates.
It's been a year NOW , still haven't heard from that one employer, crossing my 🤞 that tomorrow will be the day I get the call 🤙🏼.
I want to share my experience to help others: I interviewed one time, expecting to have another in 3-4 days. But it was silent until 2 weeks passed. And then another interview was scheduled and in the interview there were 3 interviewers at once. I was taken aback at the screen I was watching but gradually it turned into my excitement. After the interview (1hour), it comes another silence but this time I become more comfortable strangely... It is thanks to the comfort from God. (Jesus Christ). Even if I don't know yet the result. And comfortably, I'm waiting now.
Any update?
what Jesus did? any update?
Technical Manager said ....."There are several candidates to be interviewed. After that, we will definitely get back to you"....What does it mean? Positive sign or negative sign? On the same day, she accepted my LinkedIn connection request.
My situation is I was interviewed and called back processing physical and background check. I’m been waiting for 3 months for the results of background!!! I’m clean and not a criminal. All good on my end.
Have you called them
Great advice!!!
Glad you think so!
Applied for six jobs I was qualified for. Did not recieve a call back because they went with another candidate. The other four jobs just never kept me in the loop.
Job interviewing is a numbers game
What if i reply immediately to book a time slot for an interview but the email goes into his outbox and therefor doesn't book me for an interview and i miss out on the job ? Am i able to sue for incompetents ?
Thank you for the advice
Any time
I'm going through this right now. I interviewed last month and everything went well. The HR person asked if I could interview with the hiring manager.
I then contacted the HR person twice and he told me that the position is on hold because the manager was allocating the work.
Not sure if they're still interested in me.
It’s either they don’t want you or they want to see if you really want this job position
Guess I had to come over to the store I wanna work there everyday just to make sure they notice me
It’s been almost a week and I’m going to pay the manager a visit 😁
Went to an interview Monday and didn't do that great first round, actually bombed it some, went on a tour with the floor manager which was a defacto second interview and a litmus to see if I would like it and was compatible, I did like but didn't say anything and then kicking myself because I really want to get in. It is a very good company to work for in my area, and it would give me an opportunity to move up which I did not have in my last job. Going to call them back and leave a message. It's been over 2 days and I do know that they need workers.
My interview went well, the owner said “let’s proceed; I need three references and a driver’s abstract.” I provided everything they needed. Every few days the editor reaches out to me and says “just checking in to make sure you sent everything in to the boss?” I said yes…and reminded him my references are waiting for a call. No calls to my references - 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
My last job interview went really well I felt, I even sent a thank you email to them after. They said they would call me in a week which was last Saturday but I still haven’t heard back from them. I really hope they’re still considering me for hire.
I had three interviews with the same company and they all went very well. The last interview was with the president and it seemed that it went very well. He said that the hiring recruiter will be in touch with you in a week. Never heard back.
Hello. I had a 2nd job interview with a major company about 4 weeks ago. The interview went well and I asked at the end when should I expect a response from them, which they said maybe two weeks. After two weeks, I haven't heard anything and sent a followup email. I've repeated this process 3 times with no response from the recruiter. I was able to make contact with the department head for the position I was aiming for, but they told me I would be informed by the recruiter for any followups. How should I proceed next? Should I call? On as side note, my first interview was with the recruiter and she admitted she is new to the position. She informed me the department head was also the hiring manager, but when i made contact with the department head, they informed me I was to receive all info from the recruiter for the next phase of the hiring process. I'm so confused.
Employers need to be seen and called back and have them answer up as to why they did not call back.
It can also mean that the hiring manager is getting all the approvals to proceed.
Well, I did an interview yesterday they said I'll tell my boss to hire you and they said they will give me a link for my background check once I was finished with that I'll start but, every time when they "said" the link was sent I didn't receive but, I know for a fact my email is working my brother was sending me links it was working perfectly I don't know why is this a way of saying no? It's Jack in a box job by the way.
Yes and that is precisely what many of us have done dozens of times; leaving voicemail messages, leaving messages with reception, even dropping by in person, and what happens? Precisely nothing. No response to those attempts either.
you can quit.
or if your approach isn't working, try changing it.
This is pretty good advice. There are times when employers don't get back to you because they're not interested but it is certainly possible that there are issues in their end, especially during covid. I had a situation where I hadn't heard back after 1 month and I eventually contacted them only to find out that I got the position but they just had some administration issues and a covid outbreak which delayed things longer than they expected. Definitely follow up after one week (or whatever time period they gave you) has passed after the interview.
many thanks
Right and they couldn't phone you to fill you in what happened since they themselves have hired you??
Sure thing...
@@pandaexpress7673exactly mf jobs should call u to see if we got it or not we over here stressing over something and we got ready for our job interview many people would like a phone call or email takes a couple minutes of there time it’s so disrespectful I called this job I went to an interview for an left a voice mail yet no mf call back gave her my number 😒😒😒
I had an employer tell me that they no longer do it by phone, because a lot of people don't take rejection too well, to the extent that he got abuse, death threats and threats of lawsuits for rejecting them. He claimed it almost bordered on stalker levels in a couple of cases.
I have noticed that when I am rejected, it is always by text or e-mail (where you can't respond to it) but every offer has been by phone call or in person, to personally offer me the job.
So it is as much based on the method as anything to let you know how you went.
They ghost you, you ghost them. Now employers are crying because workers are doing this to them.
payback
Okay, so what if the interview went really well but they didn’t say they’d call you, they just said you should hear something in a week or two and it’s been three?
I know one of only 3 candidates interviewed.
