Ghosting involves cutting off communication with an individual or group without an explanation or advance notice. You may be familiar with this term as it relates to the dating world. However, “ghosting” can also be relevant to the workplace, specifically with job seekers who may not show up to interviews, stop communicating with potential employers during a hiring process, or even not show up for their first day of work after accepting an offer. Ghosting a potential employer has its consequences, including the potential of ruining your professional reputation.

Follow these tips and email templates from the Muse to help you identify the best way to communicate with a potential employer, instead of ghosting them. Remember, all it will take is one quick email to not burn any bridges or hurt your professional image.
