Idk why I keep getting ghosted. I’m asked to interview at a certain time. I confirm what time works. I get a confirmation reply back. Time comes and no one calls me. After 15min pass by I email asking if our call is still moving forward and don’t get a reply anymore or in one case I got rescheduled just to have it happen again. The firm exists. I obviously do my due diligence before even agreeing to a call. This has happened about 3x in 6 weeks. All different places. Anyone else experience this?

Maybe from this point forward you should get a name and number from them which to call them, on time, instead of waiting for them to call you. That way if they say to you, they are on another call, you can respond back well then I will hold because I have an interview with them. Do not take no for answer. This will hopefully help with getting ghosted. It is very unprofessional of a company to handle themselves in this fashion, by not calling.

I'm really sorry this is happening, I keep hearing how bad this job market is and it's making me very scared to start looking even though I hate my job and need to move on. This kind of ghosting sounds even worse than what I've heard of from others though. Normally it seems like employers are ghosting after interviews not before the interviews! I'm really sorry!

If you are able, go ahead and start looking but do not leave until you have the new job in the bag and you are comfortable in your skin about the new company. But whatever you do not live in fear of looking at the grass on the other side.

This has happened to me as well. It's starting to feel like dating. Everybody likes the idea of setting up an appointment at the time, but then when it rolls around, suddenly they are too busy. It's hard not to feel demoralized.

That is bad. Good analogy too. I never thought of job hunting like that. Pretty good. Thank you for giving me another way to look it.

Additional Posts in Paralegals

Hi all! I recently made a change from HR to legal. I am now a paralegal II - Immigration specialist making 65-70k hourly base for a fortune 100 company. My office is situated in Missouri. Was this a good offer?

like

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house?

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does?

Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
