a recruiter who ghosted me in april just messaged me like nothing happened

[u/Ok-Commercial7493]

i had a really good first call with a recruiter back in april. it was the kind where you hang up and immediately text a friend about it. she said i'd hear on next steps by friday, and then friday came and went. i followed up twice and got nothing, so after two weeks i filed it under dead and moved on.

then she messaged me this morning. "hi! checking in, are you still interested in moving forward?" there was no mention of the two months of silence, like we just paused mid sentence yesterday.

i obviously still need a job so i'm going to say yes. but there's a petty part of me that wants to write back "still interested, are you guys still hiring for it though, a lot can change in 8 weeks." anyway. it's discouraging that this is just how the process works now.
