Was scheduled for an interview today for a Director pos. early morning I get a Reschedule request to next Wednesday but I cannot make it due to personal commitment .
Called recuit mgr.to let him know and he tells me the director is very busy as she’s the IT. Dir for the whole org.politely asked him to send her availability other than next Haven’t received anything since then . Wondering if such co. Is worth pursuing that doesn’t value others time and that too a replacement pos for the same busy role 🥹

if you were a full time caretaker for your sick parent for the 2 years that you didn’t have another job, you should fill that out on your resume. sell it as a part of your personal skills development.
I had the same situation and told them I went to Yale. After they told me how impressed they were, I told them "that's great, because I really need this yob."
Apply to a Federal Govt a accounting job. They computer score your resume and because of the Firm and CPA along with 5 years will score well. Get that going and you might be able to jump to a Firm
Explaining that you took care of parent for 2 years is not the issue. The issue is that your knowledge is stale since you have not been in the industry for all that time. Everyone since has moved on and up skilled. You may have to step down to come back in.
Also you’re saying 2 years, but it’s been more than that since 2022. Did you do something else since?
Put caregiver on your resume and explain the tasks you did, trust me, being a full time caregiver has a lot of different tasks that help with people skills
Definitely put it on your resume as “intentional gap - family caregiver” - no further details required but you need to outline this or ppl will make assumptions unfortunately..
I would explain it exactly like that. Have you considered consulting/temp work? Are you applying directly to the company portal or via external recruiters?
