I really don't get it kung bakit ang daming job seekers yung nago-ghost in general. This happened to me last 2024 when I applied to a company and prepared for a tech interview 100% kase maganda yung environment and all. Di ko inexpect na kahit anong follow up ko nung pumasok ako ng interview and hindi ako sinipot for 1 hour, wala akong natanggap ni isang email pabalik regarding sa update. Tbh, naka-dalawang set ng meeting at nangyari ulit yon. It really exhausted me kase I gave my all, and nung dumating yung 3rd time, even though nakaramdam ako ng pagod at umay, nilaban ko parin and I gave 100%. I didn't get a rejection letter or any updates after that. Nag-send ako ng email asking for an update a week after the 3rd time, pero wala akong natanggap. I just accepted kung ano yung nangyari and moved forward sa buhay.
Same thing happened this 2026. This time, naka-proceed ako from initial to final with a behavioral interview, and I gave 100% as usual. Confident ako at some point na mapipili ako, pero I got ghosted again. This time, I did an email approach then sent a message to his Viber account asking for updates; sinasabay ko kung kelan ako mag-se-send ng email (email today, Viber message tomorrow). Sineen nya lang, which is di ko alam kung ano mararamdaman ko, pero I kept my cool and I had to stay professional parin.
It took me a month to get an update na filled na yung position, and durog nanaman ako. Nakakagalit kase everything was smooth up until the final phase. Nakakapagod mag-hanap. Sa ngayon, pinili kong magpahinga nalang kase nakaka-drain. I don't know kung ano irereact ko hearing other people experience the same thing pero deep inside kahit gusto ko na mag sabi ng masasamang words.
