HR Wanted to "Schedule Time to Talk" then Ghosted

I was contacted by HR for a company I interviewed with a long time ago. The HR lady said she wanted to schedule some time to talk and asked me for my availability the next day. Then silence. Then she asked for my availability on another day and we scheduled something. Then she had to reschedule. It's been over a week now and I still haven't been able to connect with her. Am I playing cat and mouse with an HR person who's scheduling a rejection call?

Even if it's not, I'm not sure what to think about a company where HR seems so disorganized. But any thoughts on what I can do to move things forward without being a pest?

 

Things like that happen. I once pushed/rescheduled my interview 2-3 times and on the third time never got a response back. In my and your cases, they might have found someone already.

Just my 2c

 

This an happen a lot. I interviewed with one of the Big4 and it took 4 weeks to schedule a first round... its because the people are usually quite busy... like dating, they will hit you up if they are interested.

Best of Luck.

 

Thanks, super frustrating. I don't understand why they can't just send out a rejection email and be done with it. It's the least they can do given that I flew all the way to them for a final round.
