Had three interviews for a job in March. Have since followed up every week, once a week for the last five weeks with HR on the status. They’ve responded twice in those five weeks, once was saying they’d follow up the following week and the other was saying they’d be OOO and another person from HR would follow up. That other person did not follow up. Fair to say I didn’t get the job lol?

Check the list of employees working at the company on LinkedIn. Did they hire a writer recently? Look again next week because they might not have started yet. But there could be other dysfunction too, like the role was paused or canceled.

The job market is really weird right now, so whatever happened, it’s not a reflection of you!

Wasn’t a writer position. Been heavily stalking LinkedIn and any congratulatory posts, not a peep!

It’s over with bud, but you already knew this. Sorry :-/
