My hours were cut at the start of the new year and I’m looking for a new job. I have sent out about 70 resumes since thanksgiving and have gotten about 5 leads. I have this issue where I’m getting to the final stages of the hiring process, they want to do a second interview or talk further and then I either a) get ghosted or b) get an email saying they have made the decision to remove the job position and go in a different direction.
I’m really confused if this is just the BS that companies go through to make it look like they are hiring when they aren’t or what the issue is. They seem so interested and lead me on, then randomly go quiet for no reason. I hate taking time out of my workweek to interview when there’s such a high chance of getting ghosted, it’s a waste of everyone’s time and it seems like they aren’t that serious about filling these “urgently hiring” positions.
