Is this the new normal? I had a few job interviews, even got called back for a second interview for one. It’s been 2 weeks already and I have not heard back anything from any of these companies. When I emailed to touch bases to see how the interview process is going, I finally get an email stating they decided to go with another candidate. Do companies not have the decency to let a candidate know they have not been chosen for the job anymore?

I've been noticing this as well. I've been in human resources for a few decades now and I've never seen such normalized disrespect in the industry. Especially towards the applicants.

It’s sad but has become the new normal. I have been interviewing the last few months and see this more and more. They’ll say I’m a final candidate and ghost me. They will say they will get back with a decision by end of the week and won’t. It’s so weird. And puts such a bad taste in my mouth about that company. But if that’s the type of company they are.

I have seen this far too often lately. Two weeks of silence after interviews now feels like the norm, not the exception. It is frustrating, but I no longer read it as a reflection of my value.

I’m hoping to steer clear of any scams by posting & I know it’s been posted before but, again, scams.

With Christmas coming, I’m nervous and dreading the season not only to not have her but will I make it a happy one for the kids. I need extra income but need to be home with them in the evenings.
