A recruiter PM’d me on LinkedIn asking if I’d be interested in a mid-weight copywriter role. I’m currently a global ECD.

Recruiters: Talented people need these roles. Do your damn jobs and help!

@MD1 Believe me, I was tempted and have been more than discourteous in the past. However, after giving it a moment and remembering how many talented, accomplished people here on FB are seeking work, I felt the least I could do was redirect the idiot recruiter in the hope they could actually help someone.

I respectfully declined, then provided 7 names of people they should approach.

1 of those people had the job title of parking enforcement officer. I figured they could lament together.

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
