Same here. I have messaged over 20 New York-based recruiters on LinkedIn and emailed the ones I know… and nothing. Not a single “received” or “I don’t have anything at your level” 😪

I have a recruiter with whom I interviewed twice, then a VP twice, then an in office with 1 hour presentation with 2 more people then had to meet with VP of HR then the CEO. Told me I’d hear something today. Nothing all day, send text to recruiter and nothing. There’s no reason to ghost people like that.

Does anyone dream of being a recruiter? Think about the kind of person that settles into being one. They are cut from the same cloth as people who settle on being a real estate broker or a dating coach. The ghosting becomes less surprising.

Hi Fishes,

I applied to one of the roles and after initial screening I happened to see in the website that there are no suitable openings for my profile.

I heard that the cool off period is six months. Does that apply to my situation because I didn't attend any interview.

Can I use referals to apply before 6 months? Or should I wait for 6 more months?

Thanks for your help.

I worked FT as a paralegal and went to law school in the evening. I recently interviewed at a small ID firm in employment law with about 9 attorneys. They asked for a writing sample.

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch.

However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?
