A recruiter from a firm I applied to reached out about scheduling an interview and I responded 5 minutes later saying I am available whenever. Over two days have gone by and I’ve heard nothing. Is that odd?

Thats odd. But also have had some pretty unimpressive recruiters. Great initial call. Awful follow through. Ultimately I think I’ll be lateraling to a firm I found and applied to on my own.

This happened to me once. I sent a follow-up email and they responded and also sent me a text message asking me to confirm I received the follow-up email.

I don’t know if internal recruiters use their own software or something, but it may have been an issue with that.

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied.

We went from once a week to maybe once a quarter.

I’ve talked to him about it and he says I should take care of myself. So frustrated. 😭😭

During my first year, I struggled, and the partners I worked with went out of their way to take their time with me to help me learn, as did some of the senior-level Associates.
