I interviewed for a job last Monday (Jan 5). The interviewer told me they needed someone starting Jan 19. He said if I was chosen I would receive an offer email as soon as the next day (Jan 6) and I had 48 hours to accept the offer and then get a drug test asap. A week went by and I never received any emails. Not an offer email, not a rejection email, in any of my folders. I can’t get in touch with the interviewer or HR of the company. I’ve left voicemail messages. Are they ghosting me?

That sure sounds like you've been ghosted. A lot of companies do that these days, they just tell people something conditional, like you'll hear if you're chosen. If you don't hear, that seems to be their answer. If they're not responding to messages, that seems conclusive. Don't take it personally, it seems like that level of rudeness has been normalized.

It shouldnt be but unfortunately it is normalised

Seems like it, unfortunately. I have noticed that starting times are often greatly exaggerated, but they still should have gotten back after creating the sense of urgency themselves.

That timeline they gave you was very specific, which makes the silence worse. I would assume something changed internally and keep applying elsewhere. If they needed someone by Jan 19, the lack of follow-up says more about them than you.

I just finished what I thought was the final round of interviews for a job that I really want. Everything has been going extremely well. The recruiter just called to tell me that they want me to do one more round, though. This will make 8 interviews total, including a full case study presentation to 4 people. Should I be worried? Is this a red flag?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
