Thanks Janet!

People don't like delivering bad news. If they call they know they may have to deal with people asking why they weren't hired, and no one wants to deal with that. The reasons are sometimes hard to verbalize. I'm not saying they should not call. They definitely should, but these are some of the reasons they do not. Plus, sometimes they think if you were really interested, you would call. Personnel issues and life are not easy.
