Applied on the website. Asked to write an extensive essay describing my background, my employment objectives, why I thought I was a good candidate, etc. Also, they requested references, publications, salary expectations, schedule, and more.
This is all fine except that after spending significant time writing an essay and submitting the materials, they ghosted me. I understand if I was not right for the job, but to ignore the effort I put in to answer THEIR queries was highly disrespectful.
Possibly the worst part was the recruiter actively avoided me as I called the office several times asking to speak with him and every time I was fobbed off.
