companies you never again hear from after interviews

ummm

I went for a few interview in the last month and never heard again, despite the interview itself going resonably well, 3 hours long, dinner and all.

all smiles at the end etc.

then nada.. nothing, obviously they are not going to give me the job, but never replied to an email, called or wrote.

so screw them.

would it be bold to send the hr lady a nice shove the job up your arsehole email?

not as if they will employ me anyway again.

I have since been offered other positions so dont give a flying fook tbh, but their ignorance is bad form

I'd say ignore it, Human Remains staff move around a lot and all bitch to each other, so when you go for another job in the future you may be sending your CV to the small "person".

Having dealt with a lot of HR personnel in my short career I can only deduce that the majority of them are bullsh1ters who have feck all power to do anything but make recommendations to those who actually have the power to do something. A lot of them would tell you anything to just to get you to go away. A fairly useless profession IMO.

To the OP, I would advise sending a nice professional email basically saying thanks but I have sourced another job. Look forward to seeing you in the future etc. Don't stoop down a level by insulting said person. Not needed to be honest. You can get across your opinion without resorting to insults.

well I was going to say in my bold email that it must suck putting on artificial smiles all day only to go home and realise what a $hit job I got.

suck it up bitch tbh...

I don't see an issue in asking them for feedback from your 3hr interview at all ....I would find it incredibly rude if it was a 'group' interview that lasted 30mins let alone a one-on-one that involved dinner as well!

they may have genuine reasons for not employing - it may be useful to you to find them out (for the future)

yeh I know it's easy to say 'screw you'...etc but it won't accomplish anything - keep cool and ask the question....aren't you at least intrigued as to why they didn't come back to you?

if you don't want to find out then I would let sleeping dogs lie....no point in raking up the past - it won't accomplish anything and who knows where you may meet some of the personnel again in future workplaces/interviews

Email them or even better phone then.I had that experience few months ago,went to interview smiles etc.....heard nothing for weeks even though they told me i would hear from them within the week.So i said fook em and rang the H.R. and asked why was it they had a decent job even though they had no respect for people who had made the effort to go to said interview?.....usual cowardly response.."Emm sorry about that,we sent you out a letter etc...."wan*ers

I went for an interview with a company around April 2006 I think it was....thought the interview went really well and they even said they were impressed with my CV. Got a letter from the company at the beginning of this yr (almost 2yrs later) saying I had been unsuccessful in the interview!!! Just goes to show what fools were working in that place!! I wasnt even gonna take the job anyway!

Op I've a few companies on my "list"
1) Dominos Glenageary
Reason: Back when isurance costed me 4k they were desperate for drivers and me being a student decided it was a handy second job. Never heard from them!

2) BOI
Reason: Applied for some unpaid work experience in their IT centre, they rang me back and told me they'd called me up for a quick interview. Never heard back despite numerous calls and emails.

3) Ericsson
Reason: Ignored my internship application. I got them back they when the offered me a job last year and I took another one

Op dont go shooting yourself in the foot. You wont hear back from plenty of companies. It's not personal.

AARRRGH

The problem is that the HR person is too lazy to respond to your e-mail.

I know I'm always ranting about HR being ****e, but I keep coming across it.

Ring them and ask for feedback.

No, you never know if you may meet them again. It could end up coming back and biting you on the ass and to be honest, what are they going to do with a nasty email but say 'meh'
If you feel you must get in touch with them, then you are better off writing a more diplomatic email or letter to let them know you were hoping to hear back from them and disappointed that you hadn't.

wheres me jumpa

Feedback is very important from your point of view, you need to know where you went wrong. On the flip side, they obviously need feedback too. A detailed interview such as this demands some form of closure.

Just leave it.

I know a guy that posted a **** in a parcel to one such HR person. It was traced back to him and he had to spend 2 weeks in jail for it, life is pretty messed up for him because of it.

Make a follow up phonecall or write an e-mail but dont be insulting or nasty -something along the lines of you were hoping to hear from them regarding the job, felt the interview went well etc and you are wondering if a)the job is in fact gone and b) if it is, what it was that clinched it, so that you can work on those skills for the future. This will let them know you are still waiting around sitting on your hands and might give them a kick up the arse to sort themselves out a bit (hopefully, but more likely it will get a quick glance, and they will continue on with their dull little lives skiving off from doing their job properly).

Dont send a nasty mail, it could defo come back to bite you in the ass. A sptieful e-mail came into a company I used to work for, and it only served to more or less blacklist the chap who sent it in, and some industries are very small in Ireland. You dont know when you might come across these eejits again.

It's very annoying, for sure (have been there and done that) but rise above and thank your lucky stars you didnt take the job and then find out what a shoddy workplace it really was.

Sorry but I LOL'ed at that...... What kind of a dumbass was this guy?

I agree with the poster who said that you owe it to yourself to find out why they invested so much money in you - it takes time to interview people for jobs, not to mind bring them out for dinner - and then decided not to proceed with a job offer. The initial contact should be a phone call - you're more likely to get honest feedback (even if sanitised slightly) this way.

LMFAO at the **** incident..

crying out loud...

jailed, lol

I had an interview with AIB for a technical position a few years ago and thought the interview went great.
Never heard back from them though.
I assumed what i thought and they thought were two different things!!
Would have been nice to have some feedback from them have to say.

heyjude

I applied for a job a few years ago, spent a lot of time and expense preparing for the interview, then travelled a long way for the interview. The interview went well, they said they were very pleased with the interview, said that they'd probably give me the job but had one or more people still to see and that they'd contact me within a few days(they even introduced me to some of the other members of staff(it was a pretty small operation)).

I left expecting a call to say when I'd start, but heard nothing. Except I was listening to the radio one morning about a month afterwards and the presenter was going on about some sob story they'd been covering and about how he had good news that the person they featured in the story had been offered a job.

I won't go into specifics, but the person they mentioned, had after appearing on the radio show, been given the job that I applied for.

Talking about a crappy way to find out that you've been rejected. The company involved didn't have the courtesy to even phone or write to let me know.
