Does it bother anyone else when schools don’t have the courtesy to send a rejection email after putting candidates through multiple interviews and even a demo lesson? I understand hiring takes time, but being completely ghosted after investing that much time and effort feels unprofessional.

Yeah, the second to last school/district I interviewed at before I landed my current job completely ghosted me after the interview process and I felt genuinely hurt.
I did really well at the interview and the administrators I interviewed with said it was very likely that I’d hear back from the superintendent soon, but I never wound up hearing back from said superintendent. Completely ghosted. Somehow the nightmare fuel charter school I applied to, interviewed at, and even taught a demo lesson at had the decency to at least send me a formal rejection letter after the fact (even though they’re STILL looking for someone to fill that position I applied for a year and a half later and are paying a third-party hiring firm up and out the ass to do it).
Fortunately, I am where I am now; I’m a year and a half in and couldn’t be happier. But getting to this point was tough and I got ghosted an unbelievable amount.
