I applied for a position that I'm pretty excited about today. I'm looking to try and get every advantage I can to try and get the position. I found the hiring manager on LinkedIn. Would it be creepy if I reached out? Or should I stick to emailing the recruiter instead?

I'd be wary of doing something like that. People are on LinkedIn and they know they can be found, but reaching out like that may come off as odd. It's probably best to follow whatever procedures they suggest and hope to meet the hiring manager when you're called in for an interview.

That's what I'm worried about. I don't want to be too "weird" but I really want the job lol

I’d say go for it. I always see it as a sign of initiative when a candidate reaches out to the hiring manager directly. You really have nothing to lose by making the connection.

Thank you! I'll keep that in mind!

I would go for it. There is nothing to lose

I would reach out but hard to get a response

Do you set up any standards when you date with anybody? I’m currently dating with a Mexican man. He is older than me 10 years old (I thought 6 when we first met). His job is construction and made less than me. He is insecure about the money but I’m not really. But, the one bothering me is that he is illegal immigrant. Other than that, He is a cure, nice and independent guy. When dating, he split money/ or want to cover for me. He cares about people around. I am happy but not sure about LT.
