If it’s a follow up with a CD or ECD try to make it creative or at least funny. I’ve sent a hand written thank you note in the past. Also a holiday card with santas that I drew farts on. You gotta know your audience, though. BTW, I got the job I sent the fart card to.

Ah. Recruiters are notoriously flakey. Just follow up politely via email or call if you have their number. No fart santas. Probably

I haven’t even got the interview yet. Sent an email to recruiter and so far no respond.

Thank you. I don’t have problem getting the job after interview with the CD or ECD. They get me. My problem is to how pass the recruiters to get to the CD/ECD.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.
