11. That's very frustrating

Can't tell you how many people I've talked to with similar situations. The days when someone worked most of their career for one company and happily retired are long gone, I'm afraid.

I understand that its also frustrating to not get feedback from other recruiters. I always try to respond to people, even if I can't do anything for them. Professional courtesy.

Again though, I don't find jobs for people. That's the old fashioned employment agency. I recruit candidates for specific jobs, and our client companies pay our fees for a successful placement with them. So the best way I could help you is if you email me, I can certainly forward you my regular interview preparation material. Very glad to hear of your upcoming interview! I don't say good luck, because luck has nothing to do with it. I say--Knock them dead!
