BackwoodsJ12's journey

I had an interview today for a marketing position that I was really excited about. I made sure to arrive early to make a good impression, but I ended up waiting for an entire hour past my scheduled time. When I finally got in, they only asked me five questions and then thanked me for coming. I felt really disrespected and irritated. My fiancé said they clearly don't value my time, and my mom agreed that it was ridiculous. My dad suggested it might have been a test to see how I handle frustration, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. I’m wondering if this is a sign of how they treat their employees. I’m considering leaving a review on Glassdoor and if they offer me the job, I might just decline it. I really don’t want to work for a company that thinks it’s okay to waste candidates' time.

I've been on the job hunt for a while now, applying to numerous positions, but I'm starting to feel really discouraged. I often find myself waiting for weeks, sometimes even months, without any response. Just recently, I applied for a role through a company's website and they reached out to me, saying my application looked great but they needed my actual resume. Unfortunately, I couldn't upload it because the file was too large. After that, I didn't hear anything back from them, despite following up for updates. Today, I received a rejection for a job I applied for back in June. It feels like my applications are just disappearing into a void. I can't help but wonder why this has become the norm in the job market. The ghosting from employers is incredibly frustrating, and I feel like I'm just applying to black holes. It seems like there are so many candidates for every job that my application is just one among thousands, and I can't shake the feeling that this process is becoming increasingly impersonal.
