I’m currently searching for a new role, but I’m never quite sure how to follow up with recruiters after that first intro email.

Is the first email just putting out feelers or an intro or is it about a specific job opening? The former, I wait about 6 weeks the reach back out with a short ‘hey just checking in’. The latter, if they don’t set up a meeting they aren’t interested.

It's mostly just introducing myself and putting out feelers to get my name out there that I feel awkward about. Job openings I mostly feel okay about since there's a specific reason for my email.

Not sure if this is an appropriate place to ask for portfolio feedback but I am a mid-level freelance graphic designer, 26y/o who has been working independently for the past 3 years. I’m interested in leveling up, either to a senior design role or art director role at a design agency and looking for feedback on my current website before reaching out. Can I post my portfolio here or DM some folks my link if possible? Thank you so much
