I'm shocked at the lack of professionalism with reporters. I understand it's a shrinking landscape and we're all overworked and underpaid.. but I really do not understand how a reporter can reply to several emails, confirm interviews, then literally just cancel/reschedule and ghost. I'm fine with ignoring a pitch but we are talking a locked and loaded yes to never be heard from again. Has happened with multiple national outlets now. I'm done.

So, reporters are the step-siblings of recruiters? Good to know.

Have had it happen before as well. May have been told by an editor to drop it. May have just decided “nah” and been childish/unprofessional. Either way, there’s no punishment at the outlet for doing it. If you have a contact for their editor you could try a note, but weigh how much of the bridge you want to burn vs. build.

I would like to transfer my career to Healthcare Data Analytics. I’m gaining my data analytics certification by the ending of November. I’ve also worked and still currently working for great healthcare company’s. I also have lots of great healthcare data experience. My only concern is no degree. What can I say to recruiters that will WOW them or replace the fact I have no degree because that’s what most of these company’s require.
