total took 2 months. recruiter contacted me about the job, i applied, the next week they said that they didnt think i had the right industry experience. a couple weeks later, the recruiter said that the person they offered the job to declined, and that they actually thought i was overqualified which is why they didnt hire me in the first place. they wanted to move forward again. then i had a phone call with the manager. it went well. she later asked me to write a blog sample. i wrote one and sent it within 24 hours (it was very polished). then i never heard from her again. i emailed her but no response.
