I had the weirdest (and shortest) phone screen ever. The recruiter didn't even talk about the role or anything. When I asked, she just said, "What do you want to know?" I met the requirements, but she clearly didn't care. If my resume isn't what they wanted, then why even call me? It felt so unprofessional and rushed.

I mean, if they called, they probably did like and want your resume. The recruiter might've just been having a bad day. Or she could've been totally incompetent. It's bizarre, but the optimist in me wants to think you still have a shot at moving onto the interview round.

Wow. I had a recruiter last week don't know where she got my info. Called me 3 times, emailed me twice and sent me a text. I am not even looking for a new job and she seemed to be in desperation to get in touch with me that day lol. Was weird but looked into it and it was a legit job that I wasn't interested in lol

Recruiters are often a puzzle. I think some of them just have to hit a quota so they go flying through calls that don't make a lot of sense. If the call was really weird, make sure it was a legit recruiter and not a scam. You can't be too careful these days.
