I have had several good interviews and although I ask and receive the schedule for the hiring decision and the follow-up process with each employer I am finding that the prospective employer is not following through with their commitment. I always follow up an interview with a personal handwritten thank-you note and when the scheduled time for the decision has past I follow up with an email and/or call. When I follow up on the perspective employer I am getting the following; 1) No response to my voice mail or messages or email 2) I am being told that if there is an interest, someone will call 3) No ability to reach the hiring manager 4) No follow up from the employer when the decision is made Any suggestions for follow up that's worked for others would be greatly appreciated.

Any suggestions for follow up that’s worked for others would be greatly appreciated.
