I just applied to an entry level job being a kennel assistant at a huge animal hospital near me. I had a phone interview, the lady said I was the perfect candidate and that the owner would be the next one to contact me. He contacted me for an in person interview, that I thought I NAILED. The first thing she said was that I would be great for their receptionist position based off of my resume. I mean the lady would be like “wow great answer that’s exactly how I would handle that situation as well”. We had great conversations along with the typical interview question and answer.
She asked me when I’d be able to start, asked me my next availability for a working interview, and said she enjoyed talking and looks forward to the next step.
Fast forward a week later I’ve heard nothing, so I called them to follow up, got the good ole “she’s busy rn can I take your contact info to call back later”. Still got nothing, called again at a later time, got the same answer. Then I emailed the big wig man who scheduled my interview and was supposed to interview me, and despite previously responding very quickly, I’ve heard nothing.
I have no issue not being hired somewhere, but jeez it’s so disheartening to think you finally landed a decent job and to hear nothing but positive feedback from them just to be ghosted.
