I'm not saying you're one of these people, but it's frustrating when companies do this to potential employees and the potential is told by friends and other management type people, "well that's the company you just have to deal with it".
When someone flips it on the company then it's immature.
I applied somewhere recently and they invited me out to a pre-interview lunch. That went well so they called me in for an interview. That went well and the VP told me he would call me back to set up a second (third?) interview.
I never heard back from him. An ex-coworker there went to the VP to find out what was going on and the VP said he decided he wanted someone with more experience in the specific area they're working in.
But last he told me was he liked me and would schedule another interview, then when he changed his mind he never let me know.
I think people on both sides should be courteous and respectful through the process, but if employers are treating interviewees poorly then they shouldn't be surprised when they start getting treated poorly.
First, it's hard to know when companies are doing this intentionally versus when things just get lost in the shuffle. (Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence, and all that.) Meanwhile, the author was clearly ignoring the interviewer intentionally.
Second, the fact that Company A treated you rudely doesn't give you license to treat unrelated Company B rudely. For that matter, I'm not sure that the fact that Employee 1 at Company A treated you rudely gives you moral license to treat Employee 2 at Company A rudely. Show a little compassion for someone trapped in a dead-end job trying to put food on their family's table, for crying out loud.

Yeah, the very specific problems everyone runs into time after time. He presents specific solutions, and reasonable context. If I was googling for one of these problems, I'd be very happy to run into this page.
> Also, there was the overall arrogant tone: "I found their interview approach a bit of a turn off so I did not proceed to the next interview and ignored her emails "
Your arrogance is my matter-of-fact.
EDIT - Completely serious, you mean data you put on other peoples servers, using their services and expect them to let you have it back when and however you want it? Let's be serious here. You're lucky they let you access it at all.
In reply to XCSme - no I am not new to Node and my point of the post is to illustrate some of the techniques that I haven't seen published anywhere to HN and the community. My focus is quite different from what you think it is, so maybe it is my bad for bad writing skills, I'm still new to writing and learning.

I believe you should treat others how you want to be treated. FYI, recruiters do not usually follow up with rejected candidates and many are unresponsive. It's their way of telling candidates they are no longer interested.
