Is it helpful to send a LinkedIn message to a recruiter if they are listed on the job posting in LinkedIn? Or is it a bad look? I'd imagine it be encouraged if they are named in the post with a link to DM them, but it also seems like a setup to annoy the recruiter/hiring manager.

Depends, I applied for a role that said please don’t dm the recruiter. The dm only works honestly when they reach out. Everyone, else is ignored. One recruiter told me they got 60 DMs. Follow the instructions on the job description that’s the best way.

I've gotten interviews and chats by DMing. But I typically find hiring managers are a better route for this. A recruiter is just a go-between, but I do think DMing makes it more likely your resume is considered. Keep your note succinct and focus on your offer/how you add value. Most job descriptions don't include directions, so put yourself out there and be part of the few that stand out. Closed mouths don't get fed. If someone says don't contact them after putting their info up, that's probably not the best sign.

Absolutely! Just make it clear WHY you’re messaging them - what’s the point?

I am feeling like I am the verge of a meltdown at my current job, and I have a variety of interviews but I’m having a really hard time making time for interviewing and my current responsibilities. I have plenty of money in the bank, and I sort of want to just quit and finish out my interviews, choose a job and get a little time off - but in some ways this seems crazy. Thoughts?
