I see a lot of jobs on LinkedIn from recruiting firms but my friends say to avoid them. I feel like I’m a good candidate and want to apply. Is there I should avoid applying through them?

There is a chance they are collecting your information to contact when a job is available. I don't see why it would hurt to apply though

Thanks!

It's good to check on companies you deal with via LinkedIn, just to make sure they're not scammers. But if it's a legit recruiting firm you might as well apply and see how it goes. The quality of recruiters can vary, but some of them do have access to jobs and connections and they do place people in positions.

If it’s a scam; are they just collecting data to sell?

Any tips for hard launching partners on social media?

They are very happy and excited now, but I’m scared shitless about being ostracized / judged by my extended family and Indian community in the US once I “let the cat out of the bag” on the engagement news. I want to be proud and confident about this but could use some moral support.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?
