Lack of Follow Up by Employers

I am beginning to think that it is the rule, rather than the exception. Recently, I have been fortunate enough to have gone on several interviews, many of them being second or third interviews, however, I have found that the lack of follow up from employers to be frustrating, to put it mildly.

I am not one who has a thin skin, but after going on what seems like a countless succession of interviews, only to be met with silence from perspective employers, I do not know what to do at this point.

I am just tired of all of the unprofessionalism and the absence of common human courtesy.

If they don't call during that expected time then I assume they are not interested. You can only do so much after the interview (thank you letter, call, etc...) but after a week or two I usally forgive and forget.

every other one just stayed silence. I like knowing what happened better than silence.
