I applied for a job (with my local council) last month and was invited to interview on 8th October. Due to social distancing, the interview was done via Teams. Prior to this, I was expected to arrange an afternoon to test the software worked for the interview (which I did) and was phoned by the interviewers on three occasions to discuss the interview process and change the time of the interview (at their request).
I had the interview and they told me they would contact me towards the end of last week with a decision. It's Monday and I am yet to hear from them. I looked at my online applicant profile and under the stage in the process it says "Reject after interview". Luckily I was offered another job by a different company in the intervening week so I'm not upset by the knock back.
I am, however, very miffed that they haven't even had the good manners to contact me and give me any feedback.
It's the first time I've applied for jobs in 5 years so am I just out of touch? Now that we use online application processes should I not expect a call after interview if I'm unsuccessful?
