there are tons of jobs out there, dont hold urself into one job thinking passion alone can get u selected.

even after u get other jobs, within the probation period u can give 24hrs notice should u get selected.

seriously, in my experience, most of the time u wont get the job u really want and by mass applying to other jobs sometimes u get even better deal in the job u didnt think u even get it. dont dwell too much.

of course all of these can be ignored if ur resume and ur achievements are outstanding.

your interview was online or on site? were they really scrutinizing your profile?

if yes then perhaps theyre really critical in the selection process.

I just thought that the recruiters ought to have at least sent out the rejection notification promptly instead of leaving these applicants hanging for months without knowing what's going on. After all the efforts that these applicants put into the application and testing (these guys took leave from work, etc) don't you think the least they deserve is a message telling them they have been unsuccessful and to move on. Especially since it is published in the recruitment website that unsuccessful applications will receive a rejection notification.

Understood bro, from my exp and what i heard from seniors, this has been the longstanding problem for decades abt hr in many other companies too.


We are expected to give it all if we really want it. But just need to bear in mind that it may not reciprocate. I have enough good and bad experience in applying for jobs, some for the sake of trying n some i really wanted, some companies left much to desire while some were really pleasant. Thats the reality.

Really, this aint new.

If they are still considering your application and have not yet rejected you, what do you think they should tell you now?

You mean theses candidates waited 3mths plus because the recruiters could not decide (yet) whether they should be interviewed? Seriously?
