Even though her expressions were unsettling, this instructor is devastatingly gorgeous owowo

[Tessoh]

And I got recruited by the recruiter, she said you'll receive a call from the HR but never received then again we talked on another virtual fair, though she was not replying to my mail, but there she had to talk and she said she's surprised for me not receiving the call, will get back to me with an update but never replied, they didn't even reject me but I figured it out, unprofessionalism at its peak.

[kurhula]

I have a telephonic interview tomorrow, I will come back with a response.

[dashauncoutee]

How can I reach you for coaching purposes

[samshan]

During the face-to-face interview, Both of the hiring managers promised to bring me on the board in six weeks. I have sent many follow-up emails but no answers. What should I do?
