[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all don't seem to understand that your time is not nearly as valuable as the employer's in this economy. Yes, it would be great to think that the field is level and fair, but it isn't and it doesn't have to be when there are 800 applicants for every opening.

Save your outrage for something you can actually do something about. Shaking your tiny fist about not getting a thank you/ sorry we went with someone else email will not get you a job.[/quote]

Not sure where your outrage comes from.  No one is saying that anything is fair or level or anything else.  This is simply about the inherent rudeness of having someone to your offices for multiple in-person interviews and not having the courtesy of giving that person a straightforward no or thank you for coming in.  You might think it is fine and that it is a measure of one's power -- I however, see it as rudeness and bad business.  Just remember that one day's job seeker becomes another day's hiring manager, colleague or business competitor.  It is never a good idea to create ill-will unnecessarily.  People have long memories and tend to remember those who treated them with respect during their job seeking days...and also remember those who did not. [/quote]
