Looking to return to Big 4 as a consultant now that I have some experience; however, I’m not sure if the reason I’m not hearing back is because of covid or what’s on my resume/lack thereof. Anyone else successfully get hired at Big 4 during this time?

If you have any contacts at your old big 4, I'd start there. Easy way to bypass the resume screen bs. Although, unless you're applying for a specialty practice, there are hiring freezes right now.

Out of curiosity, and I know it’s not relevant to your question so you don’t have to answer, why did you switch from Big 4? And why do you want to go back?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.

My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
