Is it weird to DM a recruiter on LinkedIn after applying or is it a smart move to stand out?

Not at all. Dm them!

Why would you not? They should be able to assist you through the process. However, it’d be ideal that you capture their contact info while you’re talking to them, not outside the regular channels (email/phone).

Did that person know if you applied for certain role? If they don’t, it should be fine to tell them “I recently applied to XYZ role with your company, what is the best way to follow up with someone in your team?”.

I just NOT using their default one as it’s redundant

Also, look at their activity and see if they posted anything. Try to comment on there too to get their attention. I would even notify them that you sent them a dm.

Hi all,
I had a video screening interview earlier last week, got an email back couple days later and this is what the email says ( referred to screenshot below).
I replied with a date and time which is today at 1:30pm- I still didn’t get a response. Needless to say I emailed them this morning to remind them.
What to make if this ?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
