Job offer: Confirmed but not confirmed
I recently went through a hiring process for a new role, which seemed promising. After completing two interviews, I was informed that I had successfully passed and would be contacted about the next steps and my contract. The hiring manager even mentioned a tentative start date for the first week of February during the final interview. Based on this, I decided to hand in my notice at my current job to align with the start date, especially since my notice period is three months but my employer kindly allowed me to leave earlier. Part of my decision was also influenced by prior commitments at my current workplace that I felt it was best to avoid attending given the circumstances. However, after checking the application portal this evening, I noticed it stated my application was unsuccessful. This is confusing because the emails I received confirmed I had been successful. While I’ve reached out to the recruitment team for clarification, I’m now worried that I may have resigned too soon. I do hope this is a genuine mistake. I’d love to hear from others who may have experienced something similar, how did things work out for you, and do you have any advice on how to handle this situation?
