I’m a new graduate and have been having some weird experiences with my job applications lately.

Last Thursday, one recruiter called me while I was in the middle of a movie, so I missed the call. Later, I got an email from them asking if I was still interested in the role. I replied saying yes and tried calling back a few times, but haven’t heard anything since. Then yesterday, I got an email from another role I applied for asking if I’d be willing to relocate. I replied straight away, but today I received a rejection email.

I’m feeling quite confused by all this. My guess is that they might have found stronger candidates shortly after reaching out, but it still feels a bit odd. Is this kind of thing normal in the job application process?
