“Oh we will let you know in a week or so” Its almost been a month!

First off forgive me I'm writing this on my phone and using text to speech because I am dyslexic. I just kind of need to rant. So I have gone through 7 rounds of interviews for one job at a university in my state which would have been full time in my field. The final round interview or should I say interviews because it took 4 fucking hours and I interviewed with over 150 people. And by 150 people I mean I presented to 150 people three different presentations to multiple groups that added up to 150 people. Now look I understand I'm asking for a job at a university that pays $50,000 a year which from my broke ass is a lot of money. This was at the end of July and because this was a final round interview I assumed I would at least hear something even if…


First off forgive me I'm writing this on my phone and using text to speech because I am dyslexic. I just kind of need to rant. So I have gone through 7 rounds of interviews for one job at a university in my state which would have been full time in my field. The final round interview or should I say interviews because it took 4 fucking hours and I interviewed with over 150 people. And by 150 people I mean I presented to 150 people three different presentations to multiple groups that added up to 150 people. Now look I understand I'm asking for a job at a university that pays $50,000 a year which from my broke ass is a lot of money. This was at the end of July and because this was a final round interview I assumed I would at least hear something even if I didn't get it. It is almost the end of August and I've heard nothing and yes I know that means that I  haven't gotten the job. And while that sucks I'm used to it what infuriates me is the fact that I have heard nothing and anytime I log into the application portal it says that my application is still under committee review. What gets to me is why has no one said anything just tell me I didn't get the job or if it is still under committee review tell me that it's taking a little longer. But all of this is a level of irking me that I can't really explain. I've applied to over 3000 jobs in the last year a good chunk of them I know were ghost jobs so I switched to only applying for state local municipalities and universities for jobs I am only looking at entry level jobs even though I have 10 years of experience in my field of portfolio and can do any of the jobs including doing document remediation for accessibility purposes. I'm just so sick of being ghosted but more than that being ghosted and then when you do reach out asking for some information you get nothing. I don't mean to sound like a spoiled millennial I don't mean to sound entitled. But when you have gone through 7 rounds of interviews for one fucking job and the last interview was in front of 150 people over 4 hours on the hottest day of the fucking year don't I deserve some closure doesn't anyone deserve some closure from a situation like this. Just tell me i didn't get the job just fucking tell me i didn't get the job tell me that you chose someone else just update that's all I'm asking for I know I didn't get the job but it's the not getting closure that's bothering me maybe I'm insane maybe I'm coming off entitled I just needed to let it out and see if I'm actually crazy or if anyone else is dealing with something like this.
