Does anybody have any advice when applying to postings with many applicants and getting noticed? The company I am interested in is Figma, and though I reached out to a few technical recruiters after applying through LinkedIn, I am wondering if there might be something more I could do that maybe I’m not thinking about. Also along those lines, if anybody here works for figma I would love the chance to connect

For me that was the reason to get my own place, didn’t want to live with people I would almost never see and feel a stranger in my own house
I’ll be your friend!!!
I had the same situation. Then lived alone and the realization was “people wouldn’t know for over a week if I choked and died”. No one knows if I’m home or gone, no one cares.
Sounds like me and my wife
That’s funny!
Yes I would either like to be close to my roommate or have multiple roommates. Just like more of a family feel. Not just doing everything on my own all the time
Try tinder
Or hookup bowl
Volunteer somewhere on the weekend regularly! You’ll make friends, feel good, and the people there will surely appreciate and miss you if you’re not there. 💗
Love this idea so much
It sounds like it’s important to you that you’re close with your roommates - why? In your opinion, is it worth paying more to get a place by yourself so you don’t have this feeling of missing out? It’s totally ok if you just want to vent with this post, but is it “wrong” to just be cohabitants with your roommates?
Hello fellow Boozer... would you be interested in becoming friends with your roommate?
There are plenty of people interested in similar setups, but you cant force your roommate to want to be your friend. Find another roommate
Op- how are you doing. I hope you’re feeling better
roommate <> friend or family.....though I would hope for some social interaction.
It’s hard to be friends with your roommates when you’re gone a lot. Try reaching out early in the week by text/email/Snapchat/whatever and asking what everyone’s up to for the next weekend, does anyone want to hang out, etc. You have to remind people that you’re around and interested in being part of things that fit into your schedule; if you don’t do that, you can’t expect them to read your mind...and by Thursday, most people’s weekend plans are pretty well set, most of the time. So let people know you want to be included...and look for things you can suggest, too - movies, concerts, bar crawls, whatever. It’s the kind of thing where you really do need to take initiative.
I'll be your friend. let's chat
Op—roommates are there to split rent not to be friends unless it just works out that way. Don’t feel bad—figure out why you feel this way to get to the root of the matter. You need to realize that you are special in your own way and don’t need validation.
Also, why the travel with Booz? Are you in commercial account?
