Yes Its Normal. Whats also normal is how candidates feel when they are ignored, because lets face it, each one feels they are the latest & greatest... since sliced bread. But Its business, just business. You may still be in the running or did not make the cut. One job can generate hundreds of resumes. A smal % of thems get interviews, a smaller of those get 2nd interviews, and one or two get the face to face with the corporate hiring manager. Its tough. So don't get your feelings hurt.
Its a full time job to get a full time job. Its not emotional. They have a need and the candidate they choose must fill that need. Its just that simple. more

If they have a lot of your personal information I would follow up and find them. If you mean disappeared like the company, agency, etcetera is now no... where to be found. But if they just didn't get back to you depending on again what type of company chalk it up. Keep track of what and whom you spoke to emails etc. And follow up if you believe it's worth it.  more

We shall communicate to you has always been the closing remarks for most interviewers. What does this entails? Simply selection and recruitment... process has to go through to its final stage. This is to say all interviewees interviewed areas have to be collated and ranked based on the vacancy and company objectivity. Winning is the notified by letter of an offer of employment opportunity. To avoid challenging the regret letters,most companies choose to inform only the successful candidate. It is therefore an indirect communication that you were unsuccessful selected.  more

My sincere empathy for your experience by a manager that you were a candidate for a position. Appropriate manners and etiquette are certainly lacking.... Consider this a fair warning that this manager doesn't respect people and will treat you like nothing as an employee. You can call the manager's admin, or the HR person you spoke with when setting interview appointments to learn the score. This reminds me of a Sr. Executive that I assisted in his job search. He called me because he was offered a position, however, the letter defining his responsibilities and salary, the salary was incorrect. It was lower than what the hiring manager had offered him. When he talked to the manager, the manager said, "You will need to take that up with HR." I said, NO. The manager needs to handle it. This is a red flag that he won't go to bat for you if other mistakes are made that needs to be corrected by the boss. He sent the manager a letter to decline the offer.  more
