To begin with, don’t call yourself desperate; you predispose yourself to feel this way, which can stress you out more. Your problem now. Stress is is a natural human response to challenges and threats, and it's your body's way of reacting to any situation that you perceive as demanding or threatening. Stress, in normal levels can help you overcome life-threatening situations; for instance, when someone makes dangerous manoeuvers while driving and you are close, your body will stress and put you in a position to avoid the unsafe driver. Also, stress in moderate amounts can help you carry out a tight deadline at work, helping you to find quick solutions to a problem and focus more on finishing it. However, if your stress levels go beyond ordinary, then you usually have this blockage which can paralyze you and you can’t move forward, per your words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can’t make an evaluation of your stress levels but stress in general has specific causes that rarely have to do with each minor incident. If you stress to a point you can’t think clearly when you miss the bus, then you are more stressed than you are supposed to be. There isn’t any magic wand that can help you battle stress; it needs time and effort. What you can do when you are in a stressful situation is to take a step back, breathe, and put the problem into perspective. Ask yourself why is this situation, person, or task is causing you so much stress and analyze whether it’s worth it. Is it a life-threatening thing or is it just a bump in the road? Also, what is the worst thing that could happen if it doesn't work the ideal way? These questions take you away from the problem and let you think more clearly and logically. Another thing is to just remove yourself from the place\u002Fperson\u002Fsituation that causes you stress and go for a walk. Sometimes, a cold water splash in the face can help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, if you are constantly stressed, from the moment you open your eyes until you go to sleep, or if your stress levels create obstacles in your life, you need to dig deeper into the problem because, as good as the above advice is, it won’t eliminate it.

Beauty standards have evolved significantly throughout history, often reflecting societal values, cultural norms, and economic conditions. What you think is beautiful from your point of view, experiences, and societal background, a person on the other edge of the world would probably laugh. Not because it’s funny or you lack taste but because beauty does not follow specific guidelines. It has formed according to people’s beliefs, aesthetics, and experiences. Just because, at this time in history, a particular standard of beauty is followed by a large majority of people, it doesn’t mean that we all agree with this and that it’s somehow the right one.

Her daughter, Christabel Pankhurst, was also a prominent [suffragette](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.workingal.com\u002Farticles\u002Fsuffragettes-the-movement-that-changed-the-history-of-women), working alongside her mother to challenge existing standards and demand equality. Emmeline Pankhurst's legacy continues to inspire generations of feminists worldwide.\n\nIn 1999, Time magazine recognized her as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century. Her militant tactics, though controversial at the time, were instrumental in achieving women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. By challenging **societal norms** and political systems, she ignited a movement that would forever change the course of history. \n\nEmmeline Pankhurst's intellectual curiosity was evident from a young age. She devoured books, including the Odyssey and The Pilgrim's Progress, and was deeply inspired by Thomas Carlyle's **The French Revolution**. However, despite her intelligence and passion for learning, she was denied the same educational opportunities as her brothers. Her parents, while supportive of women's rights, adhered to traditional gender roles, expecting their daughters to focus on domestic skills and marriage. Pankhurst's longing for a different life, one filled with intellectual pursuits and social impact, was evident in her father's lament: _\"What a pity she wasn't born a lad.\"_ This early recognition of inequality would fuel her lifelong dedication to women's rights and social justice.\n\n![emmeline pankhurst](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Femmeline_pankhurst_1_11adee29b2.png)\n\nEmmeline Pankhurst's early exposure to the **women's suffrage movement** through her mother's involvement and Lydia Becker's inspiring speeches solidified her commitment to women's rights. Her time at the École Normale de Neuilly in Paris further broadened her worldview and exposed her to the intellectual and political climate of the time. However, her personal life took a disappointing turn when a potential marriage fell through due to her family's financial constraints. This experience, coupled with her growing awareness of **gender inequality**, fueled her determination to fight for women's rights and social justice.\n\nEmmeline Pankhurst's marriage to Richard Marsden Pankhurst, a prominent figure in the legal and political world, further solidified her commitment to women's rights. Together, they worked towards securing **legal rights for women**, including property rights. In 1903, Emmeline founded the [Women's Social and Political Union](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.britannica.com\u002Ftopic\u002FWomens-Social-and-Political-Union) (WSPU), a militant organization dedicated to achieving women's suffrage. The WSPU's aggressive tactics, such as protests, civil disobedience, and hunger strikes, brought unprecedented **attention** to the cause. The arrest of Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney in 1905 marked a turning point, as the WSPU's militant approach gained momentum and sparked a national **debate on women's rights**.\n\nEmmeline Pankhurst, from her base in London, led the WSPU in increasingly aggressive campaigns against the Liberal government, which she viewed as the primary obstacle to women's suffrage. The WSPU disrupted political meetings, interrupted cabinet ministers, and engaged in **civil disobedience**. Pankhurst herself was imprisoned multiple times for her activism, including for inciting people to protest at the House of Commons. Despite a brief truce in 1910, the WSPU resumed its militant tactics when the government failed to pass a bill supporting women's suffrage.\n\nThe WSPU's tactics escalated to extreme levels of militancy in 1912, with acts of arson orchestrated by Christabel Pankhurst from exile in Paris. Emmeline Pankhurst herself endured multiple imprisonments and hunger strikes, leading to her release and rearrest under the [\"Cat and Mouse Act.\"](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.parliament.uk\u002Fabout\u002Fliving-heritage\u002Ftransformingsociety\u002Felectionsvoting\u002Fwomenvote\u002Fcase-study-the-right-to-vote\u002Fthe-right-to-vote\u002Fwinson-green-forcefeeding\u002Fcat-and-mouse-act\u002F) However, with the onset of World War I in 1914, the WSPU temporarily suspended its campaign to focus on national unity. The government responded by releasing all imprisoned suffragettes.\n\nFollowing World War I, Emmeline Pankhurst continued her **activism**, touring the United States, Canada, and Russia to advocate for women's involvement in industrial mobilization. After the war, she spent several years living abroad. In 1926, she returned to England and ran for a seat in the British Parliament as a Conservative candidate. Unfortunately, her health declined before she could be elected. Just weeks after her death, the Representation of the People Act of 1928 was passed, granting **voting equality** to women. Emmeline Pankhurst's autobiography, [\"My Own Story,](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FMy-Own-Story-Emmeline-Pankhurst\u002Fdp\u002F0313249261)\" published in 1914, provides valuable insights into her life and the struggle for women's suffrage.\n\n![emmeline pankhurst](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Femmeline_pankhurst2_3_da719c81b8.webp)\n\nEmmeline Pankhurst was a pivotal figure in the British women's suffrage movement, significantly shaping the **feminist movement** as a whole. Her militant tactics, such as marches, protests, and civil disobedience, brought unprecedented public attention to the cause. She defied societal norms, challenged the political establishment, and inspired women to **demand** their rights. Pankhurst's relentless determination and willingness to sacrifice for her beliefs have become a symbol of **feminist courage** and resilience. Her legacy continues to inspire feminists worldwide, reminding us of the power of activism and the importance of fighting for equality.\n\n## Some of her most prevalent quotes are\n\n### - I would rather be a rebel than a slave\n### - We have to free half of the human race, the women so that they can help to free the other half\n### - We are here, not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers\n### - Deeds, not words\n### - Trust in God – she will provide\n### - Justice and judgment lie often a world apart\n### - Women had always fought for men, and for their children. Now they were ready to fight for their own human rights\n### - What is the use of fighting for a vote if we have not got a country to vote in?\n### - Government does not rest upon force at all; it rests upon consent.","emmeline-pankhurst-a-champion-of-women-s-suffrage","all about emmeline pankhurst, emmeline pankhurst, emmeline pankhurst suffragette,emily pankhurst biography, pankhurst suffragette, ","Emmeline Pankhurst is a formidable figure in the fight for women's rights whose legacy still inspires feminists worldwide.",{"id":146,"name":147,"alternativeText":148,"caption":148,"width":53,"height":54,"formats":149,"hash":174,"ext":57,"mime":60,"size":175,"url":176,"previewUrl":62,"provider":94,"provider_metadata":62,"createdAt":177,"updatedAt":177},644,"emmeline pankhurst.webp","emmeline pankhurst",{"large":150,"small":156,"medium":162,"thumbnail":168},{"ext":57,"url":151,"hash":152,"mime":60,"name":153,"path":62,"size":154,"width":64,"height":65,"sizeInBytes":155},"https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Flarge_emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d.webp","large_emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d","large_emmeline pankhurst.webp",32.17,32168,{"ext":57,"url":157,"hash":158,"mime":60,"name":159,"path":62,"size":160,"width":72,"height":73,"sizeInBytes":161},"https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fsmall_emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d.webp","small_emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d","small_emmeline pankhurst.webp",15.2,15196,{"ext":57,"url":163,"hash":164,"mime":60,"name":165,"path":62,"size":166,"width":80,"height":81,"sizeInBytes":167},"https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fmedium_emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d.webp","medium_emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d","medium_emmeline pankhurst.webp",23.25,23252,{"ext":57,"url":169,"hash":170,"mime":60,"name":171,"path":62,"size":172,"width":88,"height":89,"sizeInBytes":173},"https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fthumbnail_emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d.webp","thumbnail_emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d","thumbnail_emmeline pankhurst.webp",7.22,7222,"emmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d",52.92,"https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Femmeline_pankhurst_97ded7041d.webp","2024-11-05T00:39:46.403Z",{"id":22,"name":23,"slug":24,"createdAt":97,"updatedAt":98,"publishedAt":99},{"id":14,"name":180,"slug":181,"instagram":182,"facebook":183,"bio":184,"createdAt":185,"updatedAt":186,"publishedAt":187,"linkedIn":188,"avatar":189},"Amalia","amalia","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.instagram.com\u002Famalia.ka__\u002F","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.facebook.com\u002Famalia.kakampakou","Amalia is the Teacher.

What happens when drama gets into your daily life, and you end up acting like a **Hollywood** star but without the spotlight?\n\nThe term _“drama queen”_ is widely used to describe someone who tends to exaggerate emotions, create unnecessary drama, or overreact to situations. The \"queen\" part of the phrase likely comes from the idea of a queen being a dramatic and attention-seeking figure, which is **inaccurate** because it applies to both males and females.\n\nWhile life can be **challenging**, and undoubtedly, everyone experiences ups and downs, certain behaviors can be associated with a tendency toward drama and can be extremely overwhelming and frustrating for the people involved.\n\nDo you find yourself at the center of emotional whirlwinds? Do your relationships often feel like a rollercoaster ride? If so, you might be exhibiting some classic signs of a drama queen. While a bit of flair can be fun, excessive drama can strain relationships and be an **obstacle** to your personal growth.\n\nBeing a drama queen can be exhausting and can create problems not only for the… queen but also for the people around them. Apart from the fact that drama can be emotionally **draining** for all involved, it can create severe stress and anxiety and, therefore, compromise our mental health.\n\n![signs you are a drama queen](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fsigns_you_are_a_drama_queen_3_1_dfa415231a.webp)\n\nDrama can damage relationships with friends, family, and partners. Frequent exaggerations and fabrications can erode trust because _“how many horrible things can happen within one day?”._ When someone compares every minor inconvenience to something tragedy-like, inevitably, others won’t show trust, and the drama queen’s credibility can be seriously damaged. Let alone when we talk about the workplace environment, where drama can disrupt workflow and decrease the team’s productivity while creating tensions.\n\nSo, if you think you show any of the signs below, maybe it’s time to take a big breath, acknowledge that life is not an endless drama, and evaluate your life accordingly.\n\n## Exaggerated Reactions\n\nYou tend to overreact to minor issues. A small inconvenience, like a spilled drink or a delayed train, can feel like a major catastrophe. A person who is addicted to drama might throw a **tantrum**, blame others, and refuse to continue with the day instead of calmly cleaning up the spill or waiting for the next train.\n\n## Frequent Mood Swings\n\nA drama queen's mood swings can be dramatic and unpredictable. They might be overly enthusiastic and optimistic one moment, only to become deeply sad or angry the next. For example, they might be **overjoyed** about a small success, but a minor setback could lead to self-doubt and negativity. These rapid shifts in mood can be confusing and disruptive for those around them. If you feel like your mood is controlled by every minor thing that is happening in your life, and running out of milk can destroy your calm and **pleasant** day, maybe you are prone to drama.\n\n## Constant Validation Seeking\n\nYou constantly need **reassurance** and approval from others. This can manifest in different behaviors, such as frequently asking for compliments, opinions, or approval on even the most minor decisions. For example, if you ask a friend to confirm if your outfit looks good or seek **approval** from your partner before making a minor purchase, then maybe it’s a sign that you are attracted by the drama in your life.\n\n## Victim Mentality\n\n![signs you are a drama queen](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fsigns_you_are_a_drama_queen4_1_61d64623c4.webp)\n\nYou often see yourself as the victim, blaming others for your problems. People with a victim mentality, especially when it comes from past trauma, **unconsciously** seek validation and help from others. They play the _“poor me”_ card consistently, which can generate compassion and support from others. Also, people with a victim mentality avoid taking risks and blame others for everything happening, even though they are clearly **responsible**. If it’s never your fault, then it’s the drama speaking within you.\n\n## Black-and-White Thinking\n\nYou view situations in extreme terms, with no middle ground. For example, a slightly delayed dinner might be seen as a complete failure of hospitality, or a minor disagreement with a friend could be interpreted as a major **betrayal** on their part. There are no **gray areas** in the life of a drama queen. A prevalent sign is to jump to extreme conclusions without taking into account the context. If your friend cancels dinner because she feels sick, you immediately consider this an enormous faux pas for your friendship.\n\n## Constant Complaining\n\nYou frequently express dissatisfaction and **negativity**. Everything around you is made just to annoy you. You may have the ideal job, but you still have something negative to say about it. You are on vacation, complaining about the lines at the museum, or because your order arrived late. Well, life happens; drama doesn’t have to. And if you find yourself feeling the urge to **complain** about everything, then it’s time to acknowledge the drama queen in you.\n\n## Gossiping\n\n![signs you are a drama queen](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fsigns_you_are_a_drama_queen1_5_42918157b5.webp)\n\nYou enjoy sharing negative information about others, and the best part of your day is **spilling tea** about a friend. Well, drama queens love gossiping and spreading information that has nothing to do with them. They may share rumors, exaggerate stories, or reveal private information to damage someone's reputation. For example, they might gossip about a coworker's personal life or **criticize** a friend's appearance behind their back. This behavior can damage relationships and create a harmful setting in the professional and personal environment.\n\n## Blaming Others\n\nA drama queen often avoids taking **responsibility** for their actions and blames others for their mistakes. For example, if a project fails, they might blame their team members or external factors rather than acknowledging their own contribution to the problem. Or, if a relationship ends, they might blame their partner for all the issues, refusing to acknowledge their own role in the **breakdown**. This tendency to shift blame can damage relationships and hinder personal growth.\n\n## Argumentative Nature\n\nA drama queen enjoys **engaging** in arguments and debates, even when unnecessary. They might argue over minor details, challenge others' opinions, or pick fights for no reason. For example, they might argue with a waiter about the quality of the food or debate politics with a stranger on a bus. This tendency to argue can create tension and conflict in relationships, making others' lives **insufferable** when they have to deal with them. A good argument is always welcome, but when it’s unnecessary, it causes mental exhaustion.\n\n## Attention-Seeking Behavior\n\nA drama queen often craves **attention** and will go to great lengths to be the center of attention. They might share overly personal details about their lives, exaggerate their experiences, or create dramatic situations to garner sympathy or admiration. For example, they might post overly emotional social media posts, engage in public displays of **affection**, or start arguments to draw attention to themselves. This constant need for attention can be exhausting for those around them and can damage relationships.\n\n# What To Do?\n\nIf you recognize yourself in some of the above situations and are willing to let the drama out of your life, the following advice could help you increase your self-awareness and emotions.\n\n## Practice self-control\n\nStep back from a situation and try to see it more **logically**. Is it that horrible that you missed the train? Especially if the next one is 3 minutes away. Also, put everything in perspective. What is the worst that could happen, given that you missed the train or spilled the coffee on you? Well, nothing in particular. When you understand that sometimes the Earth will keep going around the moon whether you miss the train or not, you will minimize your tendency to **overreact** in minor situations.\n\n## Be open to change\n\n![signs you are a drama queen](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fsigns_you_are_a_drama_queen_2_3_53b3437659.webp)\n\nLet go of the need to be **right** and be open to changing your perspective. Every person is reacting differently in every situation per their experience and way of thinking. Trying to stick to your guns all the time can be exhausting and hinder your **communication** with the people around you. Also, your friends, family, partners are not machines, they are normal people, they work overtime or they get sick. It’s not the end of the world if you miss a dinner. This is life, move on and ask your friend if they need some soup!\n\n## Be an observer\n\nNot everything needs a **reaction**. Speak less, listen more; you have time to see and sidestep the drama. We know it can be frustrating listening to someone having a different opinion than you, but imagine how the world would be if everyone agreed with each other? Dull, probably. Next time you can’t keep yourself from expressing your opinion and getting into an **argument**, count up to 10 and try to think why that person thinks this way. This may help you understand more. In the meantime, congratulate yourself for skipping the drama today!\n\n## Consider therapy\n\nWhen we can’t control our emotions and tend to overreact when we encounter even the most insignificant situation, maybe **therapy** is our only solution. Therapy will help you understand your triggers and will encourage you to work with yourself to eliminate such triggers and acquire more self-awareness. The more self-aware you are, the better you can control your emotions and reactions to a particular situation. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help us identify **dramatic** thinking and develop a more balanced perspective.","the-drama-llama-10-signs-you-are-addicted-to-drama","drama queen, what is a drama queen, drama queen behavior, drama queens","If you feel like exploding over the minor inconvenience, then probably you are more of a drama queen than you think.

You spend countless hours sending resumes and trying to find the perfect job. But as many resumes as you have sent, you never get a response -not even to reject you. Recruiter ghosting is a reality in the professional world. And over the latest years, it has become common. It is, undoubtedly, a sign of disrespect towards the candidate and shows that recruiters fail to acknowledge your efforts or provide closure. The statistics speak for themselves: according to [HR Dive](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.hrdive.com\u002F), 8 in 10 hiring managers say they’ve ghosted job candidates.\n\nGhosting is considered rude in general, but in professional environments, it can be overwhelming for people who try to make ends meet and get a job in the already lunatic job market.\n\nHowever, don’t give up and read below some possible reasons why you didn’t get the long-awaited email for an interview.\n\n# You are not a good fit for the role\n\n![recruiter ghosting](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Frecruiter_ghosting_1_4_75a779525e.webp)\n\nYou found the perfect job post: the job description is impressive, the salary exceeds expectations, and they nail the **office attendance** (fill in your ideal). However, as much as working in this company is your professional dream, maybe you haven’t considered that this position is not aligned with your skills and experience. As experienced as you are and you think that you would be an excellent fit for the role\u002Fcompany, it’s always reasonable to be able to actually do the job. Recruiters receive numerous resumes and must pick the most suitable candidates. So, even if your resume is great and **impressive** but out of scope, you will probably make their life difficult and, therefore, won’t get an interview.\n\n**What to do:** If you desperately want to work for a specific company, send your resume independently of a particular job opening and show them your appreciation for the company and willingness to work there. Recruiters could receive this well and keep your resume to find a better fit for your skills and experience. Some companies won’t bother, but it’s worth a try.\n\n# Your resume is not professional enough\n\n![recruiter ghosting](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Frecruiter_ghosting_2_2_0f2ffebfac.webp)\n\nWhether you didn’t have the time to prepare a good resume or writing **is not your forte**, you sent a poorly written resume or one that gives too much\u002Ftoo little information. Did you know that [68% of hiring managers say they would reject a candidate because of a poorly formatted resume?](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.qureos.com\u002Fcareer-guide\u002Fresume-statistics-for-job-seekers#:~:text=68%25%20of%20hiring%20managers%20say,that%20are%20one%20page%20long.) This means that even if you are the perfect fit for the job, you may end up not getting even an email. As I mentioned before, recruiters often have to deal with thousands of resumes and need to find the perfect candidates, so they don’t have time. Simple as that. They scan resumes and try to find the combination of skills, expertise, and **willingness** to work. And if you are wondering how a not-so-well-presented resume could be an obstacle, I would tell you this. _How likely would it be for you to hire a graphic designer who sent you a resume in a doc?_ No offense for the docs; I use them every day but a graphic designer is an artist and needs to showcase their work. A well-designed resume is their portfolio. If they can’t bother designing a resume that is easy to look at, how are they expected to create appealing graphics for the company’s audience? Another example is typos; avoid them at all costs. **Typos** show sloppiness, which is not the impression you want to give a potential employer.\n\n**What to do:** Proofread your resume carefully before submitting it. Typos, inconsistent formatting, and grammatical errors should be avoided. If you are not sure about your design\u002Fwriting skills, ask a friend to review your resume and help you or if you can afford it, delegate it to a professional who knows how things work, and you will get a **professional** result.\n\n# You didn’t follow the application process\n\n![recruiter ghosting](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Frecruiter_ghosting_3_1598f5e4dd.webp)\n\nSome companies have a specific **application process** which is probably because it’s convenient and time-efficient for the recruiters in order to be able to handle multiple resumes. So, if the company has specific requirements for sending your resume, just follow them. As tempting as it sounds to send a very professional and appealing email to accompany your resume, if the process involves uploading them on LinkedIn or a specific link or… whatever, do precisely what you are told to do. Help them to help you is what I’m saying. Also, some companies specifically give guidelines and indicate a specific process to ensure that a potential employee knows how to follow instructions -it’s not a given, and it’s highly **appreciated**. Nobody wants to hire someone who cannot follow simple instructions.\n\n**What to do:** If you feel like the process is challenging or you don’t have the requirements, you can send an email asking for more clarification. Avoid skipping the process because they will avoid calling you for an interview.\n\n# They have already found the perfect candidate\n\n![recruiter ghosting](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Frecruiter_ghosting_4_26ca26918a.webp)\n\nJust like you send resumes and arrange interviews for different job roles until you find the best opportunity, the same way recruiters talk with multiple candidates to ensure that they are making the right choice. Also, sometimes the right candidate is found immediately, but they want to explore other options by keeping the job post online. Unfortunately, this happens, and it is not something you can control. Usually, when recruiters have a tight deadline and a large pool of candidates, they don’t have time to spend on each resume so they pick from the ones that applied faster and don’t have the time to reject the rest.\n\n**What to do:** You can’t do anything about that because the truth is that you are not the only one assessing your skills for a specific job. Companies find the perfect candidate according to their preferences and requirements, not our perceptions and aspirations. So, keep looking, and you will be the ideal candidate for another role! In any case, it’s always a sign if they don’t reply, even to reject a candidate.\n\n# They are just… lazy\n\n![recruiter ghosting](https:\u002F\u002Fworkingal.s3.eu-north-1.amazonaws.com\u002Frecruiter_ghosting_5_731d0f3d35.webp)\n\nGhosting has apparently become a trend in professional circles as well, and, unfortunately, many recruiters have embraced it. To be fair, sometimes the workload can be huge, and it can be overwhelming having to respond to so many applications. Or they are trying to find a role where you could be a great fit, but the time passes… and the email never reaches your inbox. However, it’s considered unprofessional and rude not to even send a generalized response to someone looking for a job or someone in immediate need. It could reveal a lot about the company’s culture. Even if they keep your resume for future openings, it’s nice to hear from them.\n\n**What to do:** Well, there are not many things you can do for ghosting, but if you are very interested in this particular role, you can send a follow-up email to ask politely if they need additional information or an update on the interview process. Nevertheless, don’t hang on to this role because if you were the perfect candidate, they would have reached out to you soon. And, if we want to be honest, would you like to work for someone ghosting you?
