Today I got contacted on LinkedIn for a digital marketing/performance marketing role related to Adform. The recruiter profile looked professional with 500+ connections, detailed JD, salary structure, and a Google application form, so I shared my resume and filled the form. Later, I noticed the recruiter’s LinkedIn account suddenly disappeared/deactivated, and one of the files shared was an .exe file for salary details, which felt suspicious. Thankfully, I didn’t share sensitive documents or open the file. Has anyone else faced something similar recently? Not sure if this was a real recruiter, outsourcing agency, or some kind of scam attempt.

Background: I transitioned from 2 years as a ServiceNow developer at TCS into digital marketing. Spent 6 months building hands-on skills.

I am learning digital marketing for 6 months, and building a hands-on project, having a portfolio website. And also applied jobs in the career portal , personal cold email to hr and founders . But they see my application and just ignore it, not even send the regret mail also, still now I am not getting single interview, I don't know where I am missing, failing in interview is ok, but not getting a interview call is hard🥹

Give any idea or what mistake I'm doing, or I am approaching the wrong way
