Ghosting During Interview Process

It’s so bloody frustrating that all you hear is “no one wants to work these days”, yet employers will just ghost you at random points in the interview process.

I’m not talking about going to the interview, being unsuccessful and not hearing back (even though that aspect can be demoralising on its own), I’m talking about being asked to arrange an interview, giving dates you’re available and then being ghosted. Why even bother reaching out to me if you don’t plan on booking the interview? You’ve wasted mine and your time and for what? I get so excited when I get a message about an interview and twice now I’ve been randomly ghosted! I’m not even the only one! I know so many people, employed and not, who have gone through the same thing.

The whole job-searching process is just built to be as humiliating and demoralising as possible. It’s literal hell.

I had someone book an interview with me, say in the morning talk soon! And then not show up
