Honestly, the process never got past the recruiter.

First, I applied to the job seeing it on a Remote/Hybrid job site (this is very important). Also, I stated that this job is remote/hybrid.

So, my recruiter missed our first phone appointment (tried calling, emailing, and leaving voicemails).

A couple of days went by, and he responded after I sent a follow-up email. He told me he had bad food poisoning... right.

Anyway, we finally got on the phone, and he was talking very erratically. He kept mentioning another project he wanted me on.

I stated, "Does it have a remote/hybrid option?"

He replied, "No. But I don't think the other position is either."

We went back and forth about the positions and their details.

Either way, we agreed to move forward, and he stated, "I'm going to have security call to do a background check (govt-related position)."

The day came, and no call.

I emailed back, also reiterating I want to focus on the position I originally applied for with the remote option.

His reply: "Neither of these are remote. So these roles will not make you happy. Good luck in your search."

Mind you, his change in attitude was because I didn't want to be pushed onto another project.

AT&T needs to double-check their recruiters.

Also, do some drug testing... not kidding.

never got to that point
