I told a recruiter I wasn’t looking, they had contacted me on LinkedIn and apparently that wasn’t a satisfactory answer lmao. Good sales job, but no thanks
I took a call with a recruiter who did cold outreach via LinkedIn, being transparent and saying I wasn't seriously looking but was interested in developing a relationship and learning about opportunities out there that might come up over the next year. Never again. Recruiter brought in her boss to the call, who grilled me about a 3 month gap in my resume in 2013. Jeez, I just wanted to have a friendly chat.
Career growth, change.

If you can’t answer this soft ball, I don’t know what to tell you
Alright kpmg 🤣
In my case, I'm honest. Company restructured and took me from tech implementation leadership to head of PMO (because I have a PMP and have implemented a bunch of PM standards) and while I'm certainly good at it, PMO is not something I'm passionate about or interested in making a career out of.
I'm a consultant who joined a consultancy to have short term projects, so I can gain more experience, but I've been on the same for several years, so it's time to move on.
