I've been actively applying for retail and fast food positions lately, but it feels incredibly frustrating. I've submitted multiple applications and even managed to secure one interview, where the manager wanted to meet me in person. However, since then, I've felt completely ghosted. When I follow up on my application status, I'm always told that they're still reviewing candidates. It's disheartening to see companies claim they're hiring but then leave applicants hanging for weeks without any communication. I'm really curious about what's happening with these businesses and their hiring processes.
