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.

Started a new job search about 2 weeks ago. Of the 14 recruiter screening calls I’ve gone through, all went amazingly well, and I’ve only heard back at all from 4 since the calls. Why?

What do you do when you applied for a job, had two good interviews, then got rejected because you weren’t the right fit, but then 2 months later they reach out saying they want you to interview again?

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
