What about recruiters that tell you for days and/or weeks in row that you are perfect for the job, the team wants you, and they are just getting details and timing nailed down and then they *ghost* 👻... vapor...stop responding to your follow messages. Argh, for fucks#'s sake, I can't deal with these 20something recruiters any more!!!!!!!! Be an adult.

Update: She was a bit of a mess on the phone, but likable. Today, she scheduled me for a phone interview with the hiring company for tomorrow at 11am. She didn't send me her notes and interviewer info and prep stuff until 8pm tonight (and I had to follow up to get it). And her email says I'M supposed to call the interviewer at 11am. So bizarre.

I have been giving interview from last 2 months and yet I haven't got a single offer and people here are getting multiple offers. Even if interview goes nice, I would get rejection mail.

I guess Luck matters a lot even if you perform well. There would be always someone who will do better than you.

I am getting demotivated, but have to continue trying hard.

I really wish luck could be on my side.

What should I do if it’s been two weeks since I’ve heard from a recruiter after doing interviews at EY I’ve already emailed twice due to a couple competing offers having upcoming deadlines and still have not gotten a reply from the recruiter. Should I just assume that I didn’t get the job?

Genuinely curious. Does the week after follow-up email actually matter? Not the post interview thank you, but the "hey, just checking in" type.

A partner put me in charge of a specific project that I ran independently. Things were going well.

I am very upset.
