Don't ghost interview appointments
Just in the past two days, 75% of the interviews we have scheduled and confirmed for hourly positions at my company have no-call, no-showed the appointment.
I understand that companies have a part to play in this too. However, you don't have to be very good to be better than the folks you're competing against for a job. Showing up seems to be half the battle or more. And if you don't want to show up or think the job is not for you, a simple phone call or text as a courtesy goes a long way.
Employers will remember you, and perhaps reconsider you when something more appropriate comes along. #ghosted #interviews #nocallnoshow #interview
What if the interviewer asks me couple of challenging questions, I just don't know how to answer or feel quite uncomfortable? How should I deal with this situation?
Rosa, you could be right in being prepared by rehearsing the interview with relatives & friends. However, I still believe it would be quite different when doing with the actual hiring manager. I just don't know what & how they think about me. The interviewers might smile and say my resume looks interesting. But they still seemed to be in doubt & kept asking me more questions about my work experiences. Also one time I did an interview at CI Actuation. I remember the hiring manager asked what will I do within next 5 years. I just did not expect that kind of question. My mind just went blank. Lastly I just answered not sure.

Other Reasons You Didn’t Get the Job
A form rejection email is often not an accurate depiction of why you were not offered the job. Here are some other (very valid) reasons why you may not have received an offer, despite what you were told.
- Hiring Freeze
- Always Meant for an Internal Employee
- Company is Afraid to Pull the Trigger
- Found Someone Cheaper
- Company Decided to Delay the Hire
- Job Went to the Boss’s Niece
- Company is Restructuring
Keep this in mind the next time you’re told “you weren’t a fit for our needs” or “we decided on a candidate with more experience” or not told a thing.
The ACTUAL reason could have absolutely nothing to do with you.
Of course, if this becomes a pattern, it’s possible your interviewing skills simply need some polishing. That’s easy enough to correct. I work with job seekers all the time in this area.
Bottom line: If a company decides not to move on with you (or never gives you any type of response), realize it’s their loss and continue to progress forward with your job search.

Preparing in advance is the key. Prior to the interview have a family member or friend role play to ask you similar questions you would feel most uncomfortable with so that you can do your best during a real time interview. Remember to answer with a response that is similar or relative to that same scenario or question being posed. Breathe in between your sentences calmly. Focus on the interviewers eyes so they hear and see the sincerity.
