Topic	Should I keep insisting?
Zeus 09/29/18 1:17:51 AM #9:	Chewster posted... Zeus posted... In a best case scenario, you show initiative and interest. Is this really a thing? Like do employers care about this? I certainly hope they aren't just purposely trying to play some shitty game of "Ooh, I won't contact this guy when I'm supposed to, let's see how much he really wants it!" More likely is they probably just forget about you/don't have the time, and doing this gets them annoyed. And if they are playing games, would you really want to work for them anyway? The CEO of one company who eventually brought me back for a second-round interview after a long hiatus actually praised me for regularly following up. I probably wouldn't have had the second-round interview at all had I not followed up. Of course, I wound up not getting an offer (partly because they made some significant changes to the job description without informing me) so to some extent the fact that I got the second interview is somewhat moot. While it can be a game depending on the kind of job and industry, it's usually just a matter of trying to get a potential employer to keep you in mind. And if you're following up within a reasonable time frame, it shouldn't annoy them. However, if a recruiter is just ghosting you then they deserve a little aggravation >_> Chewster posted...
