Dress up like a plucky little girl, paint yourself bronze and stand outside their office. Even if the agency you’re talking to isn’t McCann, this a dignified move that works every time.

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this. Whenever I talk to them on the phone it's very hard to hear them and the whole thing just seems a bit fishy. They ask for my DOB, and one asked if I would sign something so they could market my profile. Is this a scam?
I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.

Feeling that I never land an offer from Google. I have tried many times and in my last try, I passed phone screening but recruiter ghosted me...
I am not sure what is wrong...
When I apply with referral, my resume always pass screening and shared with managers. But then no response.
When I get feedback on my resume and experience, people always mention "impressive". I feel desperate...Being in less challenging role at Amazon makes everything worse.
