I took a pause the last week in reaching out to CDs in my search for a job because of Cannes (thought my messages would not get noticed or a reply). Is everyone back at work now and will probably be more responsive? Idk maybe I was dumb for even taking a pause. It just seems very hard to get a response from an agency right now, or are summers also bad timing for job openings? I want to be strategic when reaching out.

You should take pauses every time you need them for the sake of mental health and to not get discouraged. But other than that, it’s a numbers game and you literally never know where the next opportunity will come from. Usually summers are slower hiring times, but that doesn’t mean nothing can happen.

Yeah I’m in the same boat. Last week was a wash.

get your chats in now! people will start handing in notice periods for Q4 soon, and you want to be right there, right then to fill the roles

What does handing in notice periods for Q4 mean?

No one is responding to any messages. CDs and recruiters… when did a polite No take more than a few seconds to write?

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??
