That’s the thing, my book isn’t even on my LinkedIn right now. I feel like they’re just contacting everyone, that’s why I asked.

Working for agencies generally sucks right now and more people are leaving than ever I’ve seen. Hopefully agencies start to catch on and make less toxic, more viable workplaces. Until then expect calls from recruiters trying to fill roles that really no one wants.

I’ve been getting at least two recruiters reaching out to me every week this year so far. I’ve never seen this much demand.

Yes demand is high.

It’s exhausting. But not as exhausting and mindlessly copy and pasting the same ineffectual blurb they sent to the last writer.

When it's easy to blast messages to 100s of potential candidates with a click of a button recruiters get lazy.

The amount of time i got approached for "opportunities" that would say me back 8 years in my career is quite sad.
Recruiters just filter by title and blast the email.

There is a need for talent right now which recruiters are struggling to fill. This also means that they broaden their search parameters with less quality leads. So more people are getting contacted but not necessarily with the right opportunity fit.

In my last role as a PM I was terminated simply because I wasn't trained properly. They terminated my contract just before the 90 day mark stating it wasn't a match.

Should I bring this up on other job applications/ interviews? If so how?

Situation.
Company A - All interviews done, no update yet even after follow ups. Your preferred job.
Company B - offer received. Your second preference.

Does sending email to A work citing that you have received another offer but A is your first choice? Has anyone tried this? Will that speed up A’s decision making process or they turn cold assuming you to be a hardball in negotiations as you already have another offer.
How do you tackle this situation?

Hi everyone! I’m new here. 217 days sober. I quit on September 11, 2021. I never thought I had an issue until I started lying to my friends and family about my consumption. I would take off work to drink all day and go home drunk, thinking I could play it cool and no one would notice. This has been very hard and very rewarding. If anyone is sober curious or even having a hard time with sobriety, something that really helped me is the reframe app. Be kind to yourselves!
