How often are folks here getting ghosted after an interview? Do you even bother asking for feedback? When do you give up on hearing back?

After r7 of interviews, the only feedback I got was “you’re not perfect”

I think ghosting is setting up to be the trend of 2024. Maybe people are just mentioning it more often, but it really seems like there are so many stories about job seekers being ghosted. It used to be that companies would send rejection letters that might have sounded insincere, but at least people knew what was happening. Not saying anything is just rude.

I've actually been ghosted a few times this year. At first I try to reach out and see if they'll respond to let me know what's going on, but most of the time they don't. I typically give up after a week or so of not hearing anything back, I hope that eventually companies stop ghosting people after interviews so much.

I get ghosted WAY too frequently which seems to have just become the norm for this job market. It sucks that they can't just pick up the phone or send a quick email and just kind of leave you hanging.

I’ve come to understand that they (recruiters and companies) just don’t care. It’s nothing personal, it’s just business.

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

My Accenture recruiter told me that in order to revise my current offer she would need to reject my current offer first and no need to worry on that part. Is this normal? Please provide genuine feedback.

Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

A director in another unit wants to meet me to “continue a conversation we started last year”. He is referring to the time I had asked him if there were openings on his team. That was over a year ago. I am not too happy where I am right now ( I stayed where I was). I also don’t know if he really has an opportunity or if this is just some corporate circle jerk where my current director is trying to “smoke me out”. I don’t speak poorly of my team/work. How would you approach this conversation?
