I'm assuming that what Bryan means by "ghosting" is radio silence after an interview, or at least after some level of personal (eg not a form letter) communication with the employer. Obviously when you're sending out applications you'll be lucky to hear back from 10-15%, and that sucks but it's not the same thing.

That said I still think Bryan's priors are a bit out of date. I wouldn't call ghosting the norm, exactly, but it's very common, even well into the recruiting process. And I've applied to jobs in many fields, from shitty service work to Big 4 positions for which I was very much qualified. It can be tough.
