I had a missed call today from the company I interviewed with last week. They left no message. I was away from my phone for 10 minutes and of course this happens. Do employers ever actually call you to reject you ? Please tell me no as I wait super impatiently for a call back.

Why don't you call them???

Call them. It's not stalkerish, it's taking initiative. If they called you, CALL THEM BACK.

Now we’re just playing phone tag and today they did leave voicemail saying they had a couple follow up questions. Another weekend where the suspense lingers on.

Just call back. If there is no immediate answer then just leave a message with the best time to call. No big deal don’t over think it.

I feel slightly stalkerish calling back. But on the other hand I’m just over here obsessing.

Employers normally don’t call to reject you. It’s like breaking up, the less direct the less stress

If they have couple of follow up questions that's good. I had the same thing happen recently. We went back over my years of experience and I was told I was in the top candidates. They however didn't know if thy would be able to get me the salary I requested. I responded with let me know where you can get me and we will talk.a few days later I had the offer. Hope your experience us similar to mine and gives you some peace of mind. I stressed over it too almost to the point of obsession!

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents.

In the assessment, questions which were not directly related to the profile were asked and then a rejection mail was received. Does this happen a lot?
