English Phrase: Don’t call us; we’ll call you
Thousands of new university graduates have recently started their first professional jobs.
As we all know, the job-finding process is not a piece of cake.
We get very stressed before, during and after job interviews.
After an interview, we all wait anxiously to receive a letter from the company asking us to come in for a second, third or final interview.
We don’t always get that letter.
Sometimes, we get the don’t-call-us-we’ll-call-you letter.
The deeper meaning is that the company will never call.
Don’t call us; we’ll call you is a polite way of telling a job applicant they are not suitable for the job and the company won’t hire them.
