My advice would be: don't hesitate to walk away. If they are unprofessional from the start, it's a huge red flag, and never works out. Don't put up with BS like 30 minute psyche profiles, or code tests before talking to anyone about the role or culture.

recruiters can be helpful - and frustrating. It's a mixed bag, but there have been a few good ones.

Be patient, do other things in the meantime. Anything you can get locally will have a better chance than remote.

Use something like resumasters.co to polish up your resume and linkedin.

Otherwise, don't get discouraged!

thank you, I usually follow pretty close to this in my job searching and interviewing process. I didn't know about resumasters, that looks like a great resource, thanks!
