A recruiter reached out to me about a great opportunity via LI and my personal email. After a couple of messages back-and-forth, we scheduled a time to connect via phone. Five minutes before the scheduled phone call they canceled. Simultaneously, a colleague of theirs reached out to me about the same exact role, not knowing that the first recruiter had been in contact with me. After I corrected their internal duplicate of effort, I finally spoke with the original recruiter. Post-call, I sent a thank you email and follow up expressing my interest in the role. I received a response email asking for information I had already provided during our conversation. Despite my 20+ years of experience and having spent the last four years in a nearly identical role, I was eventually told I was too junior for the position. Eventually, the role was filled by someone with way less YOE.
