i think some recruiters forget there’s an actual human being on the other side
last month i had a company schedule an interview with me and then reschedule it twice. annoying, but okay things happen.
on the final day i joined the call 10 minutes early because i didn’t want to look unprofessional. sat there waiting like an idiot for almost 25 minutes before someone finally emailed me saying the interviewer was “busy” and they’d let me know the next steps.
they never contacted me again..
that was the moment i realised how dehumanizing job hunting can get sometimes. applicants are expected to be perfectly professional, perfectly available but companies can waste your time completely and somehow that’s just considered normal.
