If I applied to a company and sent a message to the recruiter on LinkedIn, but they haven’t accepted my connection request or responded to my message, should I follow up with an email a week later? Trying to find the line between enthusiastic and being a weirdo.

I think another offer might be coming soon but I really want a shot at this job.

I personally don't think there's anything wrong with sending a follow-up email after a week. While you may come off enthusiastic, that's better than complacent when you really want the opportunity.

If you haven't actually interacted with the recruiter and have already sent a message with no response, I'd say one follow up would be the most. Otherwise, you could start to come off as annoying.

I’ve heard you should make 10 attempts when you want something badly. I know it sounds crazy but persistence pays off. I wouldn’t contact the same person 10 times but try other avenues. Try to get on the phone to them or someone higher up. Do something creative by sending your CV into the office in a creative way.

Yes I always follow up after a week. Highly recommend it
