Honestly if they haven’t responded I’d move on. Is there someone else you can try?
I agree. It’s rude 🤦♀️
Not rude. Especially, if you haven’t kept the connection going. What are they getting out of it?
Why are yall always trying to get something of something? Please dead that "what's in it for me?" mentality. It's weird.
I ignore such messages when I never liked the person
I consider this lack of response as unprofessional. Someone who has an academic history with you should, at the very least, acknowledge your message. Some people are hesitant to provide a referral if they haven’t worked with you, and it’s perfectly reasonable to respond with “I wish I could help, but I have made it a practice to only refer people with whom I have worked with in a professional capacity, since that is the context that is valuable to employers.”
Personally, if someone asks me for help, I would let them know if I could or couldn’t , and would let them know why. You never know when you may find yourself in the same situation, and that college friend that you ignored is now someone who could help you. You can never go wrong by behaving like a professional.
