After a few weeks I finally landed my first recruiter call. I was so excited ! . It was for a position in marketing. We had an appointment for 3:00 p . m . , and I sat in front of my of phone, in a collared shirt (for some reason), and waited for the recruiters call.
I didn’t hear my phone ring at 3:00, so I waited. 3:05 still no ringing. 3:10 rolls around and I flip my phone over. Two missed calls. I had my phone on silent!
I panicked and immediately called the numbers I had missed. The recruiter picked up and I could hear the disappointment in her voice. She speaks to hundreds of qualified candidates and here’s me calling in late. The conversation went quick, the recruiter was still very nice and informative but I could tell I wasn’t impressing anyone.
I received a job offer! It wasn’t my first choice, but I needed experience and I was willing to sacrifice my passion for that experience.
