[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a post yesterday- unfortunately I don’t have it- of a career coach advising someone about interviewing at a company for a role. The hiring manager wrote the person saying they were still in the mix, but needed more time, or something along those lines. So not a rejection. The ‘coach’, and others who posted, took this to mean that the company had offered the role to someone else, and were waiting to see if they accepted. Probably true but who knows, maybe a budgeting issue, etc.

The overall advice from the coach, which everyone seemed to agree with, was that this was unacceptable!, and showed that the company didn’t appreciate the applicant and they’d always be ‘number two’. Lots of rants from people saying they’d experienced something similar and they withdrew their application and never looked back, blah, blah.

But a job is a job. Who cares if they had someone else in mind that didn’t work out? And that’s an assumption anyway.

I was completely shocked at the stupidity and entitlement of everyone posting…

What’s the angle here? Are people really this dumb? [/quote]

I saw this post!!!  I was also a little perplexed by it, like why would you withdraw your application?

There's a lot of misinformation and nuttiness on linkedin and I resent that it seems like the main way to job hunt right now.[/quote]
