Will recruiters ghost me? How to keep momentum when replies are not something you can control
· 1 min read
Ghosting is a market behavior, not a personal verdict. The practical response is a pipeline with measurable skill progress-not only application volume.
Each week, ship one interview test result you can name: “I fixed X class of mistake.” That is proof even when a recruiter is silent.
Add one mock interview rep focused on a story you will reuse across companies, so you are not re-inventing from scratch for every new thread.
If you are burned out, shrink scope. One strong story, one clean technical explanation, and one calm follow-up line beats 20 sloppy applications.
