I was emailed a lengthy performance task requiring me spend multiple hours editing a lesson plan. I completed the task promptly and was told that they would get back to me as soon as possible regarding my status in the selection process. Two and a half weeks later I hadn't heard anything, so I sent a follow up email. No response. After looking at the experiences of others, this seems to be a trend. I cannot fathom how unprofessional someone has to be to ghost candidates after asking them to spend hours on an interview task. Have the courage and professional courtesy to take thirty seconds to send a rejection email.
