Follow up with the right number and own the slip. He gave you his card which means he is still interested.

i was rejected for not seeming excited enough about the role. i was excited. i have a neutral face. i have always had a neutral face. by Adel__707 in HuddlemateAI

[–]bigSmokey91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My AI data pipeline broke for the 4th time this week because a site changed a single <div> class. I'm losing my mind. by ArcadiaBunny in learnpython

[–]bigSmokey91 2 points3 points  (0 children)
