I am on a teams call for a job interview.

I have been waiting for this for over a month. I have spent ages chasing up feedback from the first stage interview. This second / final stage has been postponed twice. I have been on the call for 15 minutes now.

Its awfully lonely as no one else has showed up to the call.

No email, no message, no nothing. I have just emailed the contact at the company who arranged the interview. No reply yet.

Its meant to be an hour and a half call. I am going to give them half an hour then go and do something more constructive like bash my head against a wall.

I am out of work right now. If I did have a job I would be telling these people they are a bunch of unprofessional fuckwits and they can shove their job up their arses.

I am going to sit here and fume for a bit. Then I guess I have to grovel to get the interview re-arranged again

I managed to get to talk to a real life recruitment agent on the phone today. He asked me how I was finding things. I said it was hell.

He actually admitted he didn't even read most of the applications to a post he advertises as "there are just too many to go through." So unless your application is one of the first 15-20 on the pile you are wasting your time with him.

Recruitment is totally and utterly broken.

I applied for a job yesterday. Today I received an email asking me to "rate my experience of applying to our company".

Well...

You haven't sent an acknowledgement email to tell me your recruitment system is using so called "AI" to evaluate my application. You haven't contacted me at all. The on line application was basically, "enter everything on your CV all over again."

So on the whole its pretty fucking shit.

I have just seen a "Senior Front End Developer" position advertised on Linkedin.

When I filled out the usual boxes on their site I was told that I had applied for the position in the middle of October and "Applicants must to wait three months before reapplying for this post".

Is it just me or does this scream **GHOST JOB** to all of you too?
