Is it now normal practice not to receive a response after interview?

Is it normal practice now to not receive a response from a face to face interview if you are unsuccessful?  I recently qualified in Level 3 and trying to get into HR.  I feel that this is rude and unprofessional that I have attended two interviews without having any response especially as these are for HR positions.

  • Because there was someone with more relevant experience that ultimately they preferred - that's often the situation, let's face it and where there's only one job and five good candidates, four of them are going to lose out.

    The fact that she chose to call me and let me know in person, made me really respect her. It would have been such an easy thing to delegate or email (or both), but she wanted to manage it.
