How rude can people be ...
Sorry to resurrect this old chestnut but since my last post on this topic i am beginning to think I am being taken for a ride ..I have done everything i can ...applied for the job attended a interview 20/08 (at my expense) waited patiently WHY cant the company concerned at least acknowledge me ...I Have heard absolutely sweet fanny Adams from them . i waited the allocated time span before inquiring on the progress by phone ..initially by e mail and telephone call both were ignored ..I then contacted the company again and was advised the gentleman dealing with the matter was on holiday ...that was acceptable ...I then received a e mail the following week 25/09 advising me that the selection process was still ongoing and i was still on the short list ...I was even given his DIRECT phone number and personal e mail address so i could enquire if needed to...so 10 days ago i phoned but had to leave a message ...i have yet to receive a reply so yesterday i sent him a polite e mail ...i have yet to receive a reply. I am used to not getting replies from applications , but the result of a interview or inquiries of the result that is totally RUDE ..What does it cost to answer someone ...it makes me so angry i feel like phoning again ...but in case there is a genuine reason i dont dare.. WHAT WOULD YOU DO????

Steve I don't blame you for being frustrated
Perhaps the fact that they haven't actually said no is promising and there is a genuine reason for the hold up.
I would bite my tongue for now in the hope that a job may emerge and if it doesn't complain then.

It wasn't advertised through the job centre, but a local Job board.....However even if there is a genuine hold up , what is wrong with acknowledging to this .....after all by me following up and being polite about it is demonstrating my professionalism and interest in the company and the job ...surely that says something ...isn't that worth a polite e mail or phone call ...or does it demonstrate the companies overall attitude towards its staff ......

This happens all too often. You send applications in and then you don't hear a thing. But to go through the interview stage and then hear nothing that is downright rude and thoughtless. If no one has the guts to talk to you personally, there is always emails, texts or letters. Very frustrating.I do hope you here something good from them soon.

Re: How rude can people be ...
It's frustrating to play the waiting game. I once got a call from an employer regarding a job I had applied for 15 weeks earlier and given up on. They had already hired a candidate who didn't work out and wanted to know if I was still interested, which I was. Turned out well and I worked there for several years.Rejection letters are easily sent out - a standard reply to all unsuitable candidates. If you're still on the short list and haven't had a "no" I would take that as a good sign. Who knows what internal processes are holding up a response? Could be time for departmental budget reviews, for example. Fingers crossed for you...
