A recruiter emailed me about an application and booked a call.

I was caught off guard when I realized it wasn't a regular recruiter phone screen, but instead a phone interview with two engineers and the recruiter.

I hadn't prepared, and it was my first interview on the circuit, so I did pretty badly.

I didn't hear back for more than a month. I reached out to the recruiter and got no response, then an automatic rejection a week later.
