Am I Being Ghosted?
I recently applied to a large organization in the West for a position at one of their aged care facilities. After several interviews, they seemed very enthusiastic about hiring me. However, my visa situation is somewhat complicated right now; my options are limited while I await my skills assessment or a new visa.
On their suggestion, I sought legal advice outside the organization and informed them about the outcome of that conversation. Since then, I haven’t received any responses from them, which is unusual as they typically respond quickly and proactively. Just this week, I reached out for an update but didn’t receive a definitive answer regarding my application status.
Is it fair to conclude that I’ve been completely ghosted and rejected? I’d appreciate your thoughts! Thanks in advance!

It sounds like you’re in a frustrating situation, and it’s understandable to feel uncertain about what’s happening with your application. While it’s possible that the sudden lack of communication could indicate they are reconsidering your status due to the visa situation, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been ghosted or outright rejected just yet.
Organizations sometimes take time to make decisions, especially when visa complexities are involved. The fact that they seemed keen on hiring you before now suggests they saw potential in your application, so it might just be a matter of them needing more time to assess your situation and discuss options internally.
It could be beneficial to follow up again, perhaps in a week or so. In your message, express your continued interest in the position and ask if there’s any further information you can provide that might help in their decision-making process. This shows you’re proactive and keen without being overly pushy.
In the meantime, consider exploring other opportunities as a backup plan. It might not hurt to keep your options open, just in case this one doesn’t pan out. Good luck, and I hope you get the clarity you’re looking for soon!
