Day 14: Waiting for final job status Rant Why dont companies call you back when they say they will!!!!

So, I am waiting for the final job acceptance for a couple of companies. It is very nerve racking at times because you are waiting for a long time up to a week in some sorts. I am currently waiting due to background checks and employment references. I also went on a second interview with a Hotel in which the interviewer wore sunglasses throughout the entire interview! It was a very wired experience for me at this interview. I am still hoping by the end of the month I should begin working somewhere!!!!

I have a personal rant that I want to get off my chest. I am noticing an increasing amount of companies that claim that they will call you by the end of the week when you are a finalist of a position and you do not hear from them again. I can understand if it was an initial interview and they do not return the call since there is a large amount of applicants. However, if you are a final applicant I am assuming maybe two or three other candidates I do not think that a company should have a major issue in calling the two other applicants and telling them that they were passed on a position. I personally think that it is unprofessional since I had this happen to me twice. Even sending a self-generated letter will show the company that they consider your interest in the position. I think that these major corporations are losing there own touch when it comes to professional interviews and I hope that corporations can have the common respect in informing finalist of the position that they were passed or they decided to go in a different direction. What do you think about this when it comes to companies not calling back potential applicant when the company say that they will call you..... Sigh: Well that is my rant for tonight...

See you tomorrow

  1. I know what you mean about big corporations that leave you hanging. Would it really hurt them to find somebody to run off a letter to let you know they hired somebody else? It is so frustrating. Meanwhile you are thinking what if so and so offers me a job while I still may have a chance with this other corporation. Searching for a job just SUCKS!!

  2. That's just the way corporations work, chances are they forget all about you the second they have someone else in mind. It's a dog eat dog world, with some monsters here and there and that is the sad but honest truth. I wish you luck and hope your are chosen for the job that best suites you! =)

  3. Anybody can clearly understand what you are trying to make us understand about. Big corporations are like that since they just leave you hanging. This is a very well written blog.

  4. i have had this same problem, it is almost like you know if they don't say yes right then you are not getting the job. Employment is a very important , it seems like these companies would care a little more when you possibly don't know where your next check is coming from
