I had an initial talk with a recruiter who tried to hire me without a salary. I said no and was referred to another recruiter. I was getting better from COVID and and the recruiter had some nerve to tell me that I don't look too excited to talk to her. She passed me onto a RVP who talked with me at length about their team and what to expect, and told me she would talk to me soon. To the recruiter/lower level manager: People have stuff going on. It doesn't mean they don't care about you. We have lives, and those of us who are not unemployed may be exhausted by 4 PM, especially recouperating from COVID. I hope you find your Unicorn.

I knew the sales director personally and he encouraged me to apply. This was a standard corporate interview process. Introductory email from recruiter and sales director. Sent in my resume for them to review. Interview was completed over the phone. Job was offered
