I got a rejection via phone from a hiring partner once. I wanted to ask him why he bothered to call me. I was SO excited when I realized that he had called (I missed it and it went to voicemail and he asked me to call him back). I thought it was an offer for sure. I called him back and he told me I was dinged. It was crushing.

Yeah, he acted like it was somehow more respectable to call. But going from being nearly certain that I had just landed a six figure job to realizing that this was not the case was absolutely devastating.

Orrick did that this year. It's definitely not a good idea considering that decades of social convention have us thinking that a phone call is good news.

Yikes. It's like these firms have no one to tell them how to interact with applicants.

Didn't even really give me the chance. Totally blindsided me. I went from smiling and just waiting for the offer to hearing my whole world crashing down around me as he uttered the words "unfortunately. . . ."

I got a snail mail rejection the day after I got back from a CB. It was dated a day or two before the CB.
