Rant #2472

i started applying to jobs earlier this year. last week, i got an email inviting me to do a phone screening, but when i emailed back i didn't get any response. yesterday, i got another invite, so i texted the recruiter and said i was available whenever, following my parents' advice, despite them knowing i have the worst sleep schedule where i struggle to get up before 5-6 pm for years now. i managed to wake up at 2 pm and saw i missed the recruiter's text, which was sent at 8 am, asking if i could do 10 am to 12 pm. i immediately texted back, apologizing and asking them to give me potential time slots but no reply. my dad says i should just trying calling them today anyway, but i feel like i've messed up. i feel stupid for going along with his advice, even if it meant well, because now it's caused me to potentially miss an opportunity. idk if i should call them because i feel like i'm going to get ghosted.
