im in full time work now (ill talk more about that in a later post as its a seperate topic) but things where different a couple of months ago.
it seemed that every job i applied for i never got a reply or even acknowlegement of my application being recieved or id go to an interview and never even hear back about the outcome.
sadly this seems to be a growing trend worldwide and especially the case here in australia
seriously just how hard is it to tell unsuccesful job applicants “thank you for your time but unfortunatly your application will not move to the next stage”? IDGAF if you recieve 700 applicants at least have the courtesey to inform jobseekers of the outcome instead of keeping them hanging. Im sure you dont like job applicants doing the same to you so now you know how how jobseekers feel
and following up is a waste of time because
- you will most likely respond in a rude and hostile manner and
- even if we did bug you about it and we where hired you will use our eagerness to work for you as a weapon against us assuming an unavoidable routine workplace issue arises
Ghosting is taking the cowards way out. Rejection is a fact of life and id rather hear the the cold hard bad news than no news at all as this allows both partys closure and a chance to move on to the next oppourtunity.
and you employers wonder why that
- people dont wanna work anymore and/or
- people leave one star hate filled rants oops i mean reviews about your business on google reviews
you ghosters are bringing it on yourselves
