This ghosting trend has reached meteoric levels. I have a solid resume and interview really well, but what I have experienced lately is bizarre. I've had several interviews that exceeded the one hour time slot by like thirty + minutes because the hiring manager thought we had such a great connection. I'm referring to hiring managers appearing so laid back that they began talking about their hobbies, passions, and things we have in common. Next steps were followed up the "you'll definitely be hearing from me next week for a face to face meeting, etc." Next week comes around and all I get is complete radio silence! Not even an email response from the hiring manager or the recruiter. Everything goes to voice mail right away. I feel sorry for people in between jobs who need to pay bills. My situation is different because I have some serious bank with zero bills on my plate, so I can play this game for a long time.

Funny you mentioned that. My experience is in the account executive and BDM space and I actually thought about doing a complete 180 getting a job at an airport. All I care about is benefits, really. Money is not that important anymore.

@Matt-NYC I hear ya. Meeting company "objectives" and squeezing $$$ out of clients/partners just isn't in my DNA anymore.

@rileyschroeder8560 So, I applied for a position on LinkedIn two weeks ago and I happen to know one of the higher ups in the sales department within the company. I told him earlier this week that I applied for the position in question and his response was, "uh?? That position has already been filled. The offer was accepted a while back!" He apparently wasn't even aware of the games his HR department is playing.

@anorsegoddess9797 No luck at all scoring at least an interview?
