NO call from phone interviewer?

[88RN]

I have had a few recruiters call and set up an interview. When the time comes for the interview I don't recieve a phone call. This has happened with two different hospital systems. Also, I had a very good, successful, confident interview with a different hospital system and had an "unofficial job offer." The next Monday I recieved a call from the recruiter that I didn't recieve a job offer. I asked why I didn't recieve that position and I didn't receive an answer. I have called and emailed, just a few times these places and it is like I am being ignored. I wish I knew what the reason is. I know I don't have expeirence, but if that is the reason why won't the recruiter say so. I feel upset because I want to know why. I had an earlier post that I thought I was on a "black-list" If I could go to the source and find out I wouldn't be confused asking why on this site.

Thank you in advance and support.

You can only get an answer from the recruiter themselves. "Is this a definite phone interview, or a potential one?"

And as far as a "verbal" offer of any kind, until you have a written offer letter in hand, it is not a given. And mostly, on the VERYYYY last day, someone in house decides that they would like to apply for a transfer. Or a per diem wants to go full time....could be any number of internal workings.

I am not sure why you feel as if you are blackballed if you have not worked as a nurse before. But perhaps to try smaller community hospitals may be a better place to begin.

It is notoriously hard for new RN graduates to get any calls back. I would also have a professional look at your resume and cover letter and see if there are some changes that can be made to make your resume stand out effectively.

I remember when I only had just a few years of nursing experience it was difficult for me to get any calls back. Even after interviews. I just kept trying and eventually was able to get a different job. I learned so much from those interviews and interactions with different agencies or hospitals.

Just keep trying OP.

I have been working in a small hospital this last year. I have a scheduled interview and never receive a call, or answer. However I understand if it's internal, makes me feel better.

I'm just wondering only because. Say for instance, out was an in person interview, it's as if I show up and the interview doesn't.
