I fucking hate recruiters. Guy rings me Friday 4pm. I call him back, he's on a call.

I leave a message.

I call back this morning. "he's in a meeting". Sure sure buddy. An almost 5 hour meeting for a recruiter.

Get absolutely fucked.

“he’s in a meeting”

Nup, him and his dickhead recruiter mates are all having a circle jerk over a mirror in the boardroom. Sometimes they let the realestate agents from next door join in. Its the only way either of 'em ever get any love.

You made me laugh out loud, and for that I'm grateful ❤️

It could be reasonable that they are sometimes on calls, eg interviews reference checks, client calls etc, but I reckon not returning your call twice is probably a sign. The right thing will come along.

You're right. I just let myself get upset. I went to the gym after writing that message and felt much better afterwards.

I swear the happy chemicals from the gym make it worthwhile. Even without the physical results.
