I recently applied for a role I’m genuinely interested in. The hiring manager’s name was included in the ad, so I found her on LinkedIn and sent a connection request, which she accepted. I’m new to the Australian job market and have heard that reaching out to hiring managers can sometimes help. The job closed only yesterday, so would it be appropriate to message her, or is it too early? If yes, how can I do it without sounding pushy?

Hi Purevsuren,

If there are many applications,
You can try reaching out without being pushy. This can potentially help your application stand out. If there are common stuff between you and hiring manager, I would suggest definitely lead with that.

Good to see some last name familiar name in this bowl.

I’m having trouble working in Tax. I’m overwhelmed and am feeling like I’m not producing my best work. I want to talk to someone at work about it but a) I don’t know who to go to and b) feel like it’s not worth it because there’s nothing that anyone can do but tell me to get a different job. I feel like I SHOULD say something to someone though, right? Idk. I’ve been on the job hunt for a while now and am not really having any luck, which is just adding to my despair. What should I do?
