The vanishing: The new trend among potential employers

You found a great opportunity online, posted to it, and thought it was a sure thing.

You got the call; your heart racing with excitement. They discussed salary expectations and BOOM it's exactly what you wanted. You are headed to the next round!

After a few days, things go quiet. Maybe you followed up with an e-mail and there was this unsettling AI generated excuse or silence. Well, you have been ghosted! Not only in relationships can you get ghosted, but now potential employers also feel they don't owe you an explanation.

This lack of communication reflects poorly on the employer, damaging their reputation and making it less likely for candidates to consider them in the future.

Despite the challenges of being ghosted, it's important for job seekers to maintain a positive attitude and persevere in their job search. In the simplest terms, "lick your wounds and keep on trucking."

Seeking feedback from other sources, such as networking contacts or career advisors, can provide valuable insights and help identify areas for improvement. By staying proactive and focused on their goals, candidates can overcome the disappointment of being ghosted and continue on their path to finding the right job opportunity. It's not fair, it's not right, but it happens. Be prepared.
