One of my LinkedIn connections is a talent acquisitions manager. I had applied for a role that she was the recruiter for years ago when she was at a different company. I didn’t get the job back then and she probably doesn’t remember me. I’m interested in a role at where she’s worked now.

Any tips for messaging recruiters/HR folks on LinkedIn?

find a nice template and just be friendly

Rejected from both jobs I was waiting to hear back from.


I'm annoyed that they've just been generic rejection emails. I interviewed for 4 hours with these companies.

Multiple people have recently left my team.
But they also don't plan on backfilling and want the rest of us to step up and take on more responsibility.

Considering the amount of money they saved via attrition, they're going to have to up my salary and title or I'm

I've been frustrated with my career growth here, this is gonna be my line in the sand.

My plan half worked. I got a promotion but I think I can still do better. Gonna use this as leverage on my resume and push for a new job in a few months.

They're not begging for workers anymore, so they can go back to treating applicants like shyt.

Search back on, my boss I spoke about before isn’t even hiding that he wants my work. Just trying to play the chain of command game.

Have a phone interview with a recruiter later this week.

My resume still says I'm at my old job. What should I say during interviews about it? Should I say that I'm no longer at that job? What should I say about why I left?

9/10 times im going to say im still at the old job until its been a few months.

If you want to let them know you're gone you can either say it was a contract role (always works) or you got laid off (all the layoffs in the news make this plausible)

I've been slacking the past 2-3 months on doing anything on the career advancement front. Today im sending out networking emails and starting a new sql project

Phone interview was canceled because they're putting the position on hold for a few weeks.

In other news, before I left my job, I had asked a couple of the engineers to talk to a friend of mine who wanted to apply for a role, but was feeling unsure of herself. I started an email chain to introduce her and she told me that she arranged a time to have a call with them. So why is she now ignoring my texts?

She's that friend who disappears a lot, but I don't get why she's gone silent on me.
