I was reached out by a recruiter through LinkedIn and she seemed so excited wanting to connect with me, and as I was looking through the job description and about the company, and it seemed interesting, so I gave it a shot and scheduled the initial phone interview with the recruiter. The day comes and the recruiter calls me and we had our very basic interview questions, which I thought went pretty well. She seemed like a sweetheart and was very optimistic about my interview. She then tells me that she'll get with the hiring manager and she'll let me know what the next steps are in 24-48 hours, so it won't be till Friday (the phone interview was on Wednesday). I was very much looking forward to an email or whatever from the recruiter because she told me she would get back to me, and we all know that a lot of companies nowadays, they just ghost you, so when they tell you they'll get back to you, it's a relief, at least. As Friday passes and then a whole week has passed already at this point, I never got any news from the recruiter, I even tried emailing her and no response. It's very upsetting and disappointing because I really had my hopes up and I was really looking forward to the next steps in the interview process, but unfortunately, most companies nowadays, just ghost you instead of writing a rejection letter to you, how disappointing.
