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.

Thanks a lot.

As a divorcee with a kid, i find it extremely hard to find friends who can relate, or even making friends as it seems there’s a stigma attached to you because your relationship didn’t work out.

confession:i regret not prioritizing finding a good partner when i was in my college/early career years and envy those who did. it's harder now mid-senior career because you have less time and it actually requires you put time and effort into finding a good relationship

I am mainly working with shops in the States as a non-native speaker and I am constantly worried about my ability to communicate (in any professional occasion but mostly in meetings). I am working with some of the best shops and this makes the situation worse considering that I am largely surrounded by an extremely competent group of folks that are super good at any form of communication. How do you feel as a native speaker when you meet non-natives? Should they be worried, or, they doing ok?
