Is it normal for recruiters cold call you with info found on ZoomInfo? I don’t have my info publicly available on LinkedIn or anything, so very wary of sending any additional info or resume to the guy. Convo otherwise seemed normal, I’m just bothered that he called my personal phone number.

Like why cold call me and not just message on LinkedIn? I don’t even use my personal number for job applications, so very suspicious of it. How does ZoomInfo get my personal info and my job history?

I had a recruiter call my work number before. I would instantly block. They most likely found it on a professional organization directory.

Trying to get ahead of my caseload feels like trying to climb a hill made of loosely-packed pebbles. No matter how much I scrabble, I’m sliding closer and closer to the bottom.

How do you get caught up (or even ahead) when you’re always behind? Assume that all things that can be offloaded have been offloaded. I cannot take one more all nighter trying to get a motion drafted two days before the deadline because I couldn’t get to it earlier.
