SUMMARY:JVS Job Seekers Virtual Workshop: How to Handle Ghosting in Your Job Search
DESCRIPTION:The job search can be a very frustrating experience\, especially when you believe you’re making progress with a terrific prospect\, but then\, suddenly\, things go silent. No phone call\, no email\, nothing. You have been ghosted. \nWhat should you do? Are you still in the running? Did you do something wrong? Did they lose interest in you? Are they negotiating with another candidate? \nHerein lies the issue of being “ghosted” by a potential employer. Statistics indicate that 75% of job applicants say they were ghosted after a positive interview. \nIt is insensitive. It is unprofessional. It is disappointing. Many job searchers\, including those who have completed multiple rounds of interviews\, are experiencing this issue. \nDuring this webinar\, NSENG Founder/CEO Marty Gilbert will provide you with some insight into specific actions you can take to combat ghosting. Here are some of the subjects he will discuss.\n– Why ghosting happens\n– 15+ ways to reduce your chances of being ghosted\n– What to do if you suspect you’ve been ghosted \nThere will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after the presentation.
