Hi fam! A recruiter from Facebook reached out to me after a friend referred me. However, she reached out to me for a different role that I didn't apply for and also a different city. I do have the skillset for this role but it's not my strongest suit and also I didn't really think of pursuing this kind of role. She sent a note asking me to schedule a call to know about my interests, etc. Should I schedule a call and tell her I'd like to be considered for a different roles?

Maybe say “I’d be happy to chat with you about my interests, thank you for reaching out. Full disclosure though, the role I originally applied for is XYZ and I am still very much interested in pursuing that route. Maybe we can speak about my interest for that role as well?” - this way, you’re also giving the recruiter a choice on whether the call is appropriate.

That's a great idea. Thank you! :)

That goes without saying - recruiters get new roles daily so best to get to know them or rather let them get to know you so your resume can be first up when the right opportunity comes through the door.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.
