"You can't just apply to job openings. To get a job, candidates have to put themselves out there and network. Make those cold calls!"

I see no issue either. It's just a long winded way to ask to be considered.

Who got time for "hello and goodbye" when recruiters ghost daily.

This is just spray and pray technique.

I HATE when this happens and it occurs at least 10x a week

I’ll admit KPMG1 put it a bit harshly lol. But yes, some recruiters really do just send out messages to potential candidates all willy nilly hoping someone they find is qualified and ends up getting hired. They get paid for every hire so I kinda get it. But yea I agree, it can be a bit annoying constantly being asked to apply for things that don’t match my qualifications or career goals.

smart

...or may be English is not their first language.

That sounds like a copout.

“But, isn’t it your job to find me a job?”

Yeah, hard pass. Delete.

You can see from comments recruiters don't like it but other non-recruiters see no issue with that approach lol

Seems like the only non-recruiters who are OK with this are EY 🤣

They followed up with an email asking for 4-5 days that I am available for a full day of interviews. Gave them 4-5 days, started planning for how I’d get those days off work during insane times at current job, and now not a single word from them to confirm a date. Been over a week now. Sad.

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Does anyone think it’s a good idea to beg for a job and put your personal life out there to get sympathy, because that is what I am seeing every day on LinkedIn and then the recruiters and everybody will comment and send the jobs and they will end up with a job or interview the next day.
I’m getting close to the point of doing that because it seems like it is working.

on the way to an interview this morning eating a sandwich. I walked past a homeless man who had a stray cat perched on his lap. He asked for a bite of sandwich to feed them both as they hadn’t eaten in days. I gave the whole sandwich over and headed off to the interview. As I got to the interview room there was a large executive chair facing away from me. The chair turned and on top was a mirror. When looking in the mirror I could see the cat. I am the cat. Truly inspirational when you work hard
