Hospital/HR calls but leaves no message

Published

Does this happen often, or has it happened to anyone else?

In the past year that I've been job hunting, it has happened multiple times that I've received a phone call from a facility/HR/recruiter, but missed the call (saw it on caller ID afterward) and they did not leave a message. When I call back, no one seems to know anything about it.

I KNOW (okay I'm almost sure:lol2: ) it had to be in relation to my application, as I have no other affiliation with the hospitals. In one instance the hospital was in another area code, so seems unlikely to be a coincidental misdial when I had submitted the application hours earlier.

It is just frustrating to think I've missed opportunities because I was driving/in the bathroom/etc. and couldn't get to the phone.

HR people should realize that the person to whom they are rude today may be the persons whose butt they need to kiss tomorrow.

Exactly, like when this current job shortage cycles back to a nurse shortage...I know this newish nurse (me) will remember at least which hospitals gave me the time of day, or even bothered to email a rejection letter.
