Overcoming work history gaps / getting foot in the door in 2018

There must be a difference in time (2022 now) and recruiters. Swift recruiter told me they have never even heard of a housewife taking a CDL & returning to the workforce after 7 years. He was going to “check” w/HR if I would be just wasting my time putting together an application, and text me.

As expected, **crickets**

So not always.

No I have nothing bad in my baggage.
Several high-tier carriers have invited me to apply once I’m close to my CDL test, which again underscores the impact of a recruiter.

The question which started the avalanche? Which type of documentation would they like? As in tax records, SSA report, hireright, affidavits etc.

It goes w/the story that it took a few days to connect live on the phone; and this may have been frustrating for the recruiter, as I e-mailed & checked preference for texts, where they stated they did not read or use this kind of communication at all.

Again, individuals & preferences.

It’s all good. The others I spoke to were all great experiences.

I have even pondered finding a different Swift recruiter… Anyway. At this point I consider myself rejected.
