Ghosted

As a recent graduate, I can attest to the annoyance and disappointment that come with having prospective employers ghost you. The unexpected halt of communication by employers during the hiring process is an unsettlingly common event, demoralizing many young job seekers and making them question their worth. Imagine spending a great deal of time and effort preparing for an interview, but then hearing nothing at all? This is the situation that many of us are living in. Not only does this communication breakdown waste our time, but it also erodes our confidence in the hiring procedure. Sustaining a favourable candidate experience can be achieved with a straightforward acknowledgement or update. Being ghosted might be especially discouraging for recent grads who are already managing the difficult transition from school to the professional world. I implore employers to implement improved communication strategies in order to resolve this problem.
