Why do companies do this?
I recently went for an interview for a job. Originally I thought this thing was very professional. The 3 interviews I was called to were also very professional. My last interview I was told as before that I would be contacted within 5 days of the last interview. 5 days pass and I hear nothing back. I politely send a follow up email after the 5 days thanking them for the interview and that the next business day I would contact them via phone to follow up. I do this just to be told that the job was filled not even an hour after I had left from the interview. Why is it that employers expect a great amount of professionalism from prospective employees, but yet are sub par at best when it comes to professionalism. If you tell someone you are going to contact them, you do that. Any thoughts to this?
