Ive been trying to think of ways to get a leg up in this job market. What are some good ways to shmooze recruiters without looking too desperate? Send a gift? Be extra polite? Whats the secret? 🤔

I don’t think anyone has the secret—we’re all just doing the best we can. It definitely doesn’t hurt to be extra polite to the recruiter, but I probably wouldn’t send a gift. Recruiters are notorious for ghosting, and that could get expensive if you’re sending gifts to every one of them.

I agree, sending gifts is not sustainable

Follow up. I thought I was ghosted for almost 3 weeks, decided I had nothing to lose, and sent another message. The recruiter contacted me the next day, apologized for the delay, and I started going through the interview process. Your results will obviously vary a lot, but you have nothing to lose. Recruiters are seeing people constantly, and it’s very easy to slip through the cracks.

Can anyone relate to this feeling?
