Interesting how you complain when prospective employers don't call you but now you are complaining because someone's prospective employer has the decency and professionalism to call someone and tell them that they did not get the job. Most companies wouldn't even call.....they would send some templated letter saying you were rejected.

I don't know what your deal is but according to your postings there is something there and it's very negative and pessimistic.

why the hell would I want to hear on the phone I didn't get the job? The interview I had last monday, if I was to get a call and see Career and Academic Development Institute on the caller id, I would just know it means I;m going to be offered the job not be told they hired someone else.

again, holy mackeral!! it depends.

If they flew you to another state, interviewed you for two days, and then hired your competitor... you bet they

probably would call each person that made the eliminations and let them know by phone you did not get the job...

It would be disappointing, but as another poster pointed out, if the person doesn't work out, you may again get the job offer...

you just never know...so remain optimistic, until you are eaiting mcdonalds out of trashcans...

I agree. I don't know if I would want to be called and told that I did not get the job. Seeing the caller ID or hearing the voice of the hiring agent might get my hopes up.

Wow, the means you are in your late 20's or early 30's, and as naive as a high school sophomore?

you downplay your skills, n'est pas?

and it is hard to believe, becuase you say, that you are a job counseor, non?

sometimes it is hard to be the teacher and the student, and not look well at both
