Interview
I was interested in a position recently advertised by CEU, which was posted less than two weeks ago and did not specify an application deadline. I started filling out the online application form, but before I could submit it, the job advertisement was suddenly removed. My saved draft can no longer be edited or submitted.
This experience was quite frustrating and confusing — especially since the posting was still recent and there was no indication that applications had closed. A short notice or at least a listed deadline would have helped applicants plan and avoid wasted effort.
