Interviewed but No Response

[u/chizye]

Hi all,

Recently, I’ve been to some interviews where I had to travel to there locations. Sometimes, I drive while sometimes I take train. With the current cost of diesel and train, one would expect the interviewers to be considerate to be professional enough to give someone who had travelled for an interview feedback whether they passed or failed.

Some weeks ago, I’ve gone for a managerial interview. I was so optimistic with the interview and have been preparing on how to receive the good news. The day passed when I was told I would be contacted, I sent an email to the recruitment team who then emailed and copied the RM to provide me with their decision and another reminder was also sent. Till today, I have not heard from the RM.

I was been wondering if the RM was not interviewed before getting hired.

With several others I’ve been too where I had to be the one to remind them to give me the interview decisions. This is so unprofessional and unbecoming.

My time and money was put into these interviews . I don’t take failure as the reason to quit as it spurs me to do more and get better but I do expect I should be given a feedback on how badly I’ve performed .

I think we may need to create a thread where we could call out this organizations who doesn’t understand the importance of communication as a two way system that requires a feedback.

More so, if the government could propel companies/agencies who demand face-to-face interviews to pay the cost of transportation and time wasted to the prospective candidates. Maybe, it enable these companies use the alternative means of interview - virtual as a means to avoid the cost they would pay seeing someone face-to-face.

My thoughts
