Looking for advice.I applied for a role mid-December. Don’t hear anything until a month later, received a rejection email, then minutes later and email from the recruiter, asking for availability to schedule a phone screen. That was two weeks ago, I immediately responded, making sure the rejection was sent in error and they did want to meet. I provided availability, no response, I’ve followed up, provided additional availability, per their request, then no response. At what point do I walk away?

Yes, I would suggest that you just move on. From what you explained here, it seems like the recruiter may have been the one to reach out to you in error and they realize their mistake.

Just move on. That recruiter is incompetent and probably made a mistake on the ATS.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?
