vacancy withdrawn

What can I you do about this?

I have applied for a job which as usual had three tests online and then two 20 minuts interview online. And this is what I get today.

"We are sorry to have to tell you that due to unforeseen circumstances this vacancy has now been withdrawn."

Are they all waisting our time now? This should be illeagal,lol.
Apart from this one , I `ve been waiting for an outcome (now for 2 months ) of another job. :mad:

What happened to those jobs where you just walk in and get your apron on and work??

Rant over, just had another dissapointing day...

feel free to add how long have you been waiting to hear the bad from the prospective employer.

    Situations change, it's annoying but there is nothing you can do about it.

    They probably got bombarded by applications.

    I applied for a job last week, I had an interview on Wednesday. When I went to my research on Monday they had closed the vacancy - three days from applying!

    Upshot: they offered me the job this morning. :D

    Or they don't have the money for the post anymore, or they are having a reorganisation, or someone is no longer leaving, or any of a thousand reasons. Just because one wants a job, doesn't mean one will get it.

    Get over it, simple.
  • Not always necessary to wait for the bad news. After interview I usually ask when they anticipate notifying the successful candidate, if I haven't then heard from them by that time I dismiss the post from my mind and move on.
