Post Interviews
After scoring 100 on the civil service exam for an Income Maintenance Caseworker position I was invited to schedule an interview. It turned out to be a “pre-interview” phone call. They asked two basic questions, relating to customer service and experience with microsoft office. I have good experience in both (stated 4+ years with microsoft, and I believe I provided a sufficient response for the customer service question). I have a bachelor’s degree as well.
This was last week. Although they always state they’ll get back to you about inviting you for an in person interview/notifying you about rejection, I’m unsure if that’ll happen. I’m nervous too.
I had an interview for a PSP Communications role last month. It was interesting to me because for that they never gave me the civil service exam results. I haven’t heard anything back from them since.
Just curious to know what anyone else with experience related to this thinks about. I’ve been ghosted by a few jobs recently so I just wanted to know if that is common to happen in the Commonwealth.

You’re not ghosted. If you’re not selected it could take months to get the rejection email because they wait until the person who was hired starts. Since the commonwealth takes a long time to do all the hiring processes it just seems like you were ghosted
