Just the expand on my comment in relation to the question posed, this is very much a reaction to the situation I find myself in currently, and not a reference to anyone else’s.
I have been looking for alternative employment for a little while now and it seems to follow a common pattern; job advertised, application and/or resume submitted, phone call received from HR person, preliminary questions dealt with, anticipated interview doesn’t materialise, no feedback as to why forthcoming. And hence my reaction.
In practice, I’ve not actually sat a formal interview for around 25 years, but have in that time occupied a number of roles under different managers, all within the same company or one of its subsidiaries. That tends to suggest that I’m adaptable and ‘do a job’, but it also leaves you out of practice at both getting that toe in the door in the first place, and then having the right approach when dealing with interviewers - on the assumption I ever get that far.
