Rejected petition Punishable by law if an employer does not get back to someone about a job position
More details
It has come to my attention that many people who are applying for jobs are not being contacted to say they did not get an interview. It should be made punishable by law if this happens. Sometimes we sit in silence and wait for that e-mail or phone call from an employer inviting us to an interview.
I can name multiple occasions this has happened to me and many people I know. I think it is unfair and needs to stop. We would rather hear the bad news than nothing at all.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
