About two weeks ago I was called by a headhunter. It was 7 pm and she asked if we could just have a "quick chat" about a role. I googled the number she called from and it was a legitimate dial of one of the London based agencies.
I asked her if this was really an informal conversation about the role or if we are to go through my CV etc. She was not particularly clear but then took on a very informal tone with me eventually sharing experiences of her childhood, her last fortune teller visit and how she'd displayed mildly passive agressive behaviours towards her former customers in the past. I did think it was a bit weird for her to share this but she sounded quite young and I didn't want to come across as rigid and judgemental.
Now I am kicking myself because I engaged her, and overshared (e.g. I said I once put down the phone on a rude client.) We laughed a lot, talked about anything and everything. Then out of nowhere she asked me a question about my career progression so I responded in a manner that was perhaps too vague (I was not prepared to be suddenly grilled on this.) The conversation lasted 50 minutes and almost felt as if we became mates at that point, I was not prepared to be put on the spot. She then sent me an email from their generic company mailbox and asked me to tick some marketig boxes to "process my application."
After I have done this, she suddenly changed her tone and quite abruptly finished the conversation. I never heard from her again.
I don't really know what to make of this. I feel like I was not given a chance to properly present mysef in the way that I would like to come across.
In a weird coincidence I was actually eyeing up the position before she contacted me and it would have been a perfect match to my skills.
AIBU to be a bit upset with her or is this just standard practise and I should have been more savy in my approach?
