I submitted an application to a stat board in earlier this year and was called for an interview two months later. I was told to wait 2-3 weeks for the outcome of the interview. In this, I was specifically told that I would be informed by HR of both positive and negative outcomes.
The 3 week mark has long passed (by around a month). In this case, am I correct to assume that I have not been successful in my application and that I should not expect to hear from the stat board any more, regardless of what I have been told? Have called several times, only to be told to wait a bit more.
Also, is the hiring process a bit different for fresh graduates (I am one)?
