I’ve been trying to get a job with my alma mater ever since graduating 3 years ago. They ghost unselected applicants. This is as far as I’ve ever gotten with them. This wasn’t even for a major role. Explanations in captions

I applied for a simple administrative assistant role months ago. I finally was contacted for an initial screening and then an interview, both of which went very well. After nearly a month of emailing back and forth, I was denied the job I was being considered for all because my references apparently couldn’t be contacted. I found out that one of them was but the hiring manager never said anything and ghosted. I don’t think I ever spoke to the hiring manager once. I’m well over this. I have a better job lined up. Fuck OSU’s hiring process, it’s a nightmare.
