Kate's post gave me an idea for a little fun, so here goes: SEEKING: Long-Term Professional Relationship (No Chemistry Required, Just Basic Communication Skills) Tired single communications professional seeks stable employer for long-term career commitment. I promise I'm the one you've been looking for – I shower daily, use Excel with ease, and have mastered the art of saying "let's circle back" with conviction. You had me at "competitive salary and benefits." I felt the spark when you said "great company culture," and my heart fluttered at "room for growth." But then... silence. Was it something I said in my follow-up email? The way I formatted my resume? I thought we had something special after that second interview where we both laughed at your corporate jargon jokes. I'm not asking for much: - Just tell me if you're not that into my skill set. - Don't leave me hanging after our "amazing conversation." - Basic respect > empty promises about "reaching out soon." I've been hurt before. Like that time I tailored my entire cover letter to your company values, only to receive an automated rejection six months later. Or when you said "we'll definitely be in touch next week" – which was three hiring managers ago. I bring to the table: - Emotional resilience (developed through dealing with countless application portals). - The ability to maintain enthusiasm after being left at the "read" stage by 47 recruiters. - A genuine belief that somewhere out there, my perfect job match exists. Not required: - Fireworks - Love at first sight - Promises of being a "work family" Serious inquiries only – I've already spent enough time in the Friend Zone from all those applications that went nowhere.

When you upload your details onto a job board you’re creating a professional profile. Just like you would tailor a dating profile in the hope it attracts the perfect partner You hope your CV will attract the perfect opportunity. So… ?????????????? ??????: ?????????????? ???????? ?????????might be sending the wrong message. It’s like listing your only interest on Tinder as Sex and then expecting to match with the one. Your ????????????? ?????????? should be your last or at least the most relevant for the job you’re seeking. And your ?????????????? ???????? should be a little more aspirational than not leaving the house. I’m sure there’s someone somewhere getting triggered by this advice. But I’m supposed to help you get the job you want… Not to make you feel good about underachieving. Do better and you’ll get better results. #RebootRecruit.com "????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ?????????? ???? ???????? ???????????? ?????? ???????????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????????" — ??????????????????"

5 Reasons why job searching is the same as dating: 1. Endless swiping: you’re out here browsing job boards like a dating app, swiping left more than you’re swiping right, because you “must have 10 years of experience for an entry role” 2. Over-the-top profiles: companies say their teams are “like family” when you’re just trying to find out how many of those “family members” have quit in the past couple of months 3. Ghosting: just when you think everything is going great, boom you’re ghosted. You even told your mom about what an amazing interview you had. Follow up? Nothing. Ask for feedback? Nope. Back to square 1 4. Internet stalking: it’s not enough to simply apply anymore. You have to apply for a job, track down the recruiter, learn their life story, loop in a mutual, and find their boss just to get a message back. Get a message back, and then your girlfriend does a deep dive on the company to make sure you’re not being catfished 5. Everyone puts in their two cents: whether you’re single or unemployed, well intentioned people seem to have all the solutions. Mostly, it’s to keep trying because, “it will happen when you least expect it!” Moral of the story: Whether you’re dating or job searching, keep your standards high, your boundaries strong, and don’t settle for less than you deserve! #jobsearch #dating #HR #recruiting

Dear Job Seekers: Stay Reachable! As you begin your job search, remember that being accessible is key to landing your next opportunity. Ensure you're easily reachable via phone or email, and if you're unavailable, have an alternative contact (friend, family, colleague) who can step in and relay messages to you. Clients that contract us with recruitment assignments will not wait 5 days for you to eventually respond. Check your email / Whatsapp / SMS regularly during the day incase there is a message left for you by a Recruiter or potential employer. On a lighter note, if you decide you put your spouse as an alternative contact on your CV PLEASE inform them that a Recruiter can either be male or female. Recruiters sometimes bear the brunt of abuse from spouses who initially assume any female/male voice calling on the husbands/wife's phone must be the husband or wife's 'girlfriend' or 'boyfriend' They eventually only soften up after they interrogate the caller and discover that it's about a job opportunity. Stay connected and reachable - good luck! #JobSearch #CareerTips #StayReachable

PLEASE READ THIS?? It is always challenging to search for a job. You message the people at your dream companies on LinkedIn, you make friends, you have wonderful conversation and when at last you say, may I please have a referral or can you tell HR about me,they say yes. But then silence. Ghosting. We understand that, it is not always possible to extend your helping hand. But wouldn’t it be easier to say, “I won’t be able to do this,” or “I will try to do it, but if I fail, I will inform you”? A short and genuine reply can be given in a few minutes but could make a huge difference to someone who is being vulnerable. Let’s remember the time when you were also searching for a job for yourself. Standing in their shoes, you are going to realize how frustrating it is. One kind message can turn a person’s whole day around something that can make a massive difference. If you can help, even in small way, please do. And if you can’t, just tell them that you are not available to do it for them. I think it is time we make this journey a little more bearable for each other. Just wanted to share something which I’ve been facing lately.?? #Jobsearch#Networking#Bekind#SupportEachOther#linkedin#message

Happy Hump Day. Just a reminder to everyone looking for a job: -Your chances of receiving a rejection email are directly proportionate to the jobs you apply to where you don't meet the basic requirements -The early bird catches the worm: the sooner you apply to a job as soon as it opens, and you DO meet the qualifications, the better your chances of actually being considered. *IDENTIFY YOUR TARGET EMPLOYERS and set up job alerts/join their talent communities/build your network with employees.** -Employers are NOT rejecting YOU personally; they are just telling you that you are not their ideal match. That doesn't mean there may not be another opportunity waiting. -Hitting up some rando person on LI because you want a job there is NOT the same as an employee referral.* *means I have articles here on LI referencing this subject. #notfacebook and here is a photo of my adorable dogs because this isn't facebook and I don't care....everyone needs a cute animal photo.

I’m not an advocate for staying in a job that weighs on your mental health. I did this for 5 years. But I strongly suggest you have a plan, while you still have a job: 1. Update your resume. 2. Update your LinkedIn profile. 3. Reach out to your network and let them know you are considering a change. You’d be surprised at how far friend and family connections can take you. 4. Start your job search. It’s much easier to navigate rejections when you don’t have bills stacking up. Never feel guilty about looking for work. You don’t owe your employer anything, when they view you as a number during those “difficult” decisions. #jobsearch #recruiter #updateyourresumemonth

If you think you're safe and happy enough in your job to be rude to someone else just trying to do their job, congratulations! but also maybe take a look at the news, or linkedin, or twitter, or talk to a neighbor..... I get that as a group, recruiters aren't the most loved and can be kind of obnoxious. i get that you have been sent a bunch of spam emails about jobs that are "below" you or don't match your skill set. I get that we hit you up about working with you to find people for your openings but you aren't a manager so you can't do anything. BUT. Most good recruiters will just say "ok, thanks for letting me know" if you say not interested. And then you haven't damaged a relationship permanently because you told some newbie to go F themselves because they had the absolute AUDACITY to reach out about a potential employment opp. the world is changing fast, especially in tech. I know if it were me, which often times it is, I choose the path of respect and kindness. Try it. It's helped me a ton in the last few years, after I thought I was "unfireable" because i am good at what I do, but got fired anyway... Keep it humpy out there for humpday. Richie ?? PS. All of you recruiters out there that I just stuck up for, chill on the spam. Your job is to find someone with the right skills THEN inundate them with messaging, not just throw a huge wide net to anyone with 2 matching keywords and hope you get the right person to answer. Try a bit harder than zero effort please. #recruiterlife

? Thursday Thought: I love LinkedIn. I love the ability that I can interact with people around the world. LinkedIn has helped me find quality candidates to fill open roles for the clients I work with. However, there are rare times where I have someone that I reach out to who seems to just want to be critical of anything they deem fit. Such as, this statement when I reached out to a potential candidate and seeing if he wanted me to help him find his next role: "???? ????????????, ?????? ???????????? "???????? ???? ??????" ???????? ???????? ?????????????? ?????? ???????? ??????, ???????? ??????'?? ????????????????, ???? ?????? ??????????." ?? Parenting is my full-time job. ?? Parenting is my #1 job. ?? It is a job I will have the rest of my life and it is the most wonderful and exhausting job I will ever have. ?? Parenting doesn't end because I work a full-time job outside of the house. My two daughters are the reason why I work as hard as I do to put a roof over their heads and I am proud to be their Mama. Sadly, I almost removed it from my profile but thought, why give someone that type of satisfaction? So yes, I am a Lead Professional Recruiter, Career Consultant and Proudly a Mama of Two. #recruiting #proudmamaoftwo #staffing #fulltimejob #parenting #linkedinconnects #letthismamahelpyou
