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

funny

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.

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.

Honestly, my boss gaslit me for too long

Hello,

I moved to USA in 2017 on F1 visa. I was not selected for H1-B in the 3 years of my OPT. While my company is transferring me to Canada and can potentially get me back on L1 visa, the shifting situation is stressing me out. The thought of moving to another country in a couple of months is causing a lot of anxiety and tough luck with the lottery is making me feel depressed.

Any suggestions on how to cope with the situation? (Please be considerate in the comment) Thanks in advance!
