What better time is there to talk about being ghosted by potential employers than during spooky season? Ghosting isn't just something that happens in the dating world; it can also occur after you've gone through multiple interviews and feel confident that the job is yours. Maybe you have discussed start dates or salary, only for the hiring manager to suddenly disappear, leaving you with no explanation.
Listen in as I break down why this might happen. While it’s frustrating and no one enjoys being ghosted, it’s important to remember that it’s rarely about you or your qualifications!
I also cover how to handle this situation and the importance of keeping a positive attitude. Remember to manage your own expectations as you continue to apply for other roles.
I ultimately want to remind you that ghosting is an unfortunate but very real part of the process, but it doesn’t define you or your worth as a candidate. Tune in for practical advice and tips on how to handle this situation.
