5 years ago I applied to an agency and never heard back so you think it’s safe to say I’m not getting an interview?

5 years? You could still randomly get an email out of nowhere saying they've decided to move forward with other candidates

Applied for two roles, months apart. The latter I got the “went with different candidates” email a couple weeks later… the first application sent that email like 2 months later! 😅

That’s okay. I interviewed at FCB twice 4 years ago and never heard back despite reaching back out twice over the 2 weeks following.
