I’ve been laid off and I’m trying to find a new role but the ghosting from Recruiters is REALLY getting to me. Someone will reach out to me, ask if I’m interested in a role and then NOT respond to me when I say I AM interested. Worse yet, when you’ve gone a couple rounds of interviews and ask about next steps and hear crickets. I know how it feels when you reach out to someone and hear nothing back so I legit try to respond to EVERY LinkedIn or email so the lack of empathy really pisses me off.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. When I was looking I imagined I was a door to door salesperson and that every no got me closer to the one yes I was looking for. It took me literally hundreds of tries but I finally got the yes I was looking for. As far as recruiters go, my advice is to just let it go. I know it’s easier said that done, but give it a go.

What is a Creative Resource Manager?? What do you do?? AND -- with recruiters it's not personal; it can be a numbers game for them -- they have to move to put most likely candidates together with most promising looking opportunities to fill roles and it can be a moving target. Think about their roles... Assume they'd LOVE to make $$ on you; they just need the right opportunity. Keep a list of who's reached out to you & circle back to remind them what you're looking for, that you're available... If they get something you could be a fit for, where they think they could make $, they will be more proactive. It's a matching game. Give them slack, but if they seem to work in your field, don't let them forget you.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
