I was submitted for a contract job by a recruiter in November, 2014. I have been in touch with this recruiter every week since the submission date. Then last week I got an "out of office" reply from this recruiter stating that she would be out of the office until today. Today she sends me a note informing me that she has no idea why, but the job to which I was submitted in November was now closed. Gee. What a coincidence. She disappears for a vacation and somehow we miss the opportunity for an interview and selection while she is away. I'm trying to figure out why no one else in this company picked up the slack and filled in for her while she was gone. Could it be that she was too worried about losing her commission?
What really bothers me about this is that this is the 3rd time in the past 2 years that this has happened to me (different contractors/recruiters though). And to make things even more frustrating, I was very suited for this role, and it called upon all of my skills and background. I was very excited about it and was really looking forward to the interview...studying and practicing answers to all sorts of interview questions. I have been out of work since September 2013...what the hell does one have to do to get a job in the world these days?
