out of frustration/anger/disapointment - call it what you want - i called and asked to speak with the hr rep. she had gone for the day so i left a message. i was VERY professional about it but i did point out that i noticed the job re-posted online and since it seemed everything was moving in a positive direction, i was interested to know if there was something i missed, etc and could i have the opportunity to remedy it and remain in consideration for the job.
i am still having a difficult time understanding why a company would go through all of that work (2 interviews, background checks, dr*g screen, calling references, etc) if they weren't interested in making an offer. seems a waste of time and effort to pursue that much stuff only to pass on the candidate.
i haven't received a call back or an email - i don't expect to, really. i suppose if that's the way they handle things then i don't want to work there. i get jerked around enough here and still get my benefits/vacation & sick time/etc. if i get jerked around there i'd be without all of that.
so anyway, onward. it still stings like hell to see that job posting at the top of the page but hopefully it will get buried toward the bottom after a couple of days. i'm still quite disappointed but it'll get better and i'll still keep looking - even though right now all i want to do is eat chocolate. hey, nothing soothes bitterness like sweetness! :-) |

You never know, they still might offer you the job. I worked for a large insurance company many years ago. They called and offered me the job a MONTH after I interviewed.
I'm so sorry that you've been toyed with! That is so horrible. You're right, you so don't want to work for a company that treats potential employees that way. Can you imagine how they'd treat you as an actual employee? Even if they were to call and offer the job to you down the road, remember this. It's a total red flag. It's just like that boyfriend in high school who's red flag was flying high but you ignored it because he was sooo cute! :)
