It is very hard, but most of the time the only choice is to pick yourself up and carry on. I often console myself afterwards with the belief that it wasn't the job meant for me nor was it the organization where I am ultimately destined to find my new work "home." Keep your chins up, everyone. Best of luck to all of you, and as Michael said, don't give up! Great article and many "spot on" comments, as well.

I agree with all the comments as well. If its any consolation, even in Australia where the economy is supposed to be 'booming' and the official unemployement rate is 5%, the situation re the hiring process is exactly the same. I was downsized in May and so far have applied for over 20 jobs-not as many as some folks here but I have put my heart and soul into each and every one of them. I can affirm that you apply and wait. By and large you get no response. You follow up with polite emails and calls and guess what? Yep, no reply-total silence. So it appears that the recruitment process is the same the world over. Its lonely, frustarting and demeaning-the recruiters either have no empathy or totally ignore the fact that they are dealing with PEOPLE who have EMOTIONS. Good luck to you all and thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to have read all the responses and it heartens me to see peole's resolve. Good luck and dont give up. Thanks for the article.

There is very little professionalism left in HR dealings. For example I went thorugh multiple stage process with CitiBank, Overall 7 interviews, 3 in person, forms, documentations, background check etc, etc. Made it to the top 3 candidates from a group of over 35 people and? And none of these people, senior management, middle management, HR managers, HR coordinators have enough composure and professionalism to simple send a ONE sentence e-mail with "thank you but no." What they do instead? They just stone wall you. They do not pick up their phones for days and do not respond to courteous and professional e-mails with: "would you please be so kind and let me know?" That type of tactic and intentional ignoring scheme is not only unprofessional but highly rude and arrogant. Whatever happened with civility and common sense? Is one e-mail with one sentence too much to ask when a person spent hours and jumped through multiple narrowing hoops for them and their process? Whatever happened with a sense of decency and responsibility? @Tina

And what do you do when the top/senior management is visibly for you will middle one which would be your direct to report not so much... I had that happen more than once. Good points.
