Antiwork

A little heartbreak (and frustration)

I recently applied for a job in downtown Chicago. A prestigious real estate company that was honestly my dream job. After working with the recruiter and going through 4 interviews the company decided to offer me the job. We negotiated salary, they accepted. In the final process post offer letter they asked me to go back and fill out my educational background which I was never able to complete. (I have 8 years of relevant work experience). I never lied to them in the hiring process and assumed it wouldn’t be a big deal. Anyways, they call me back 2 days later to let me know that they are pulling the offer and I’m out of luck. Heartbroken and beyond disappointed. I guess I’m wondering is the recruiter at fault? Should I have said nothing and gone through the background check? Looking for advise.
