I had responded to an online posting from a headhunter for a position which would have been perfect for me. The company appeared to be enthusiastic and invited me for an interview, paying my airfare and all travel expenses. The interview went well, at least so I thought, but six months went by and I heard nothing from them, so I pulled the plug and really ripped them a new one. I was at the tail end of my career and was employed at the time, so I didn't need them either and had nothing to lose, but the pent up rage I felt after being treated like this for over thirty years finally blew up. I later found out that it took them a whole year to fill the position--which wasn't a real critical high-level job anyway, and that the person who got it lasted three years there, less than I would have stayed. <br /><br />The way employers treat job applicants today is truly obscene. I agree that they have no obligation to respond to every inquiry (and many, to their credit, are up front about that), but if you invite someone for an interview (and sometimes more than one!) you damn well better make a decision within a reasonable time frame, like four weeks, and let the applicants know so they can get on with their lives. sestamibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03713681322114049960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-78018313351666551692019-02-22T09:35:23.576-08:002019-02-22T09:35:23.576-08:00It's her world.

It's an attitude that seems rampant today.pacmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05510002691207482901noreply@blogger.com
