Interview
My worst experience ever was when I was completely ghosted after an interview. I put in a lot of effort preparing and attending, only to receive no response or feedback. It left me feeling disrespected and uncertain about my status, as I waited anxiously for any update. I reached out with polite follow-up messages, but never heard back. The lack of closure and communication from the company made me question the professionalism of their hiring process, and it was very disappointing to be treated that way after investing so much time.
