Third time GALE gets in touch offering something. The same recruiter. They ended up ghosting me last two without a single real interview apart from the recruiter call. This time they don't even know we've spoke before. For a company with such a low level creative output, they really aren't helping their chances.

Try not to take it personally.

Agencies with low-level creativity are always the hardest to get into if you are any good. That’s why they have bad creative; they don’t let the good people in!

The easiest agencies I got into were BBDO and Droga, meanwhile I got ghosted and rejected from countless bland agencies because my creativity wasn’t up to par or something.

I have a similar experience. Fortunately this time, after a year something of being unemployed, I'm happy at my current place, so I'm not upset about this. If anything, glad they didn't hire me then. It's just an observation of the state of the industry.

Typical recruiter behavior. I’m so sick of it.
