HI, appreciate recruiter feedback on this...

HI, appreciate recruiter feedback on this... I had a pre-screening interview on Tuesday which went very well, the recruiter said she needs a few examples of a specific topic, I was very excited said sure and we finished the call.

On Wed night, I found myself not finished with the examples (not sure about the level of details needed and when does she need it), so I sent an email to ask for clarification and apologize not getting it to her right away I didn't get a reply

Since there is no reply, I sent my write up asap to not let her wait, but when I looked at it later, it looks too detailed so I sent a shortened summary on Friday saying I guess you needed something brief, I got no reply to these two emails

On Friday, I feel both versions I sent are premature, as I was under the gun during a very busy week, I rushed because I tried to be respectful to her time, out of very good intention. so I sent her a note Friday night saying I apologize for sending you premature versions I really needed a good chunk of time to properly dig up the information. I will send them to you this weekend ,appreciate your understanding.

I send my final version today and never got a reply since our call on Tuesday... I know my mistake is I should have clarified her expectations on the call,.. I just wonder how would you guys have handled this? what shall I do now? will this impact my candidacy?... I'd really appreciate recruiters feedback, thank you!

    At this point, the ball is in her court to respond.
    I wouldn't send any more emails. I think it says a lot about your self awareness that you recognized your mistake in not clarifying expectations. It put undue stress on you and made you react and send "less than" work. Take a breath. It happens. Give her some time to respond.

    Escape Road City is the perfect blend of action and strategy. I enjoy planning my escape routes while dodging the police. The game gets more exciting with each new car I unlock. It's easy to learn but hard to master, which makes it so addictive!
