A recruiter sent me a message at midnight last night. I didn’t answer till 10am today, but this has me wondering— do recruiters decide when to send these in mail messages on LinkedIn? Or is LinkedIn controlling the flow sometimes?

I’ve received 100+ recruiter messages on there over the years, but always during business hours unless the recruiter was in a different country. This recruiter is in Minnesota and I’m in Michigan…

Recruiter is no doubt busy and was working late.

LinkedIn also sends email notifications to your personal email looooong after the message already arrived in your LinkedIn In-mail.

It’s both. For LinkedIn recruiter there’s an option to schedule when the message is sent but most likely it’s because the recruiter is working late. But ACD1 also has a good point about email notifications

I have an interview coming up with Church & Dwight. When the recruiter emailed me with 3 interview times I thought he was asking me what time works best.

Has anyone been given an offer or received further movement on their application after a month or more from your last interview? Not sure if it’s odd that the company reached out after my final round interview to have a call and “discuss next steps” but then they haven’t responded to me since I’ve followed up (I’ve poked 3 times every 11 days or so but I plan to leave it be now until they respond).

Does anyone else feel that the more content someone puts in their LinkedIn headline, the more full of it they are? I say this as someone with a bunch of stuff lol but at least it’s all at one company and accurate.

I’m talking mostly about two kinds of people. 1. The influencer who is actually unemployed, but lists 25 BS things they do
2. The brand collector, who writes “ex-“ for every former company they worked at and school they went to. Maybe less full of it but still insufferable.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
