Monday AM thought, Im realizing more and more. Sometimes it’s the smallest thing—like following up after I didn’t get the role. Or just being transparent. What’s something a recruiter did that actually felt human?

Handing me off to another recruiter who has a better fit for me. He could've easily just moved on knowing I was not the right fit for his role but knew I would fit better in a different role by another recruiter.

Hello Everyone!!
Happy Friday!
I wanted to let you know we are having a beginner meditation session next Tuesday Feb 9th from 8:30 - 9 PM EST.
You should see a reminder on Monday.
I’m very much looking forward to this event! If anyone else wants to volunteer to lead these mindful sessions please let me know as I’d love to make this a regular occurrence.

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

I know it comes with the job but the non-stop LinkedIn Messages are starting to get old. The legit requests are one thing but I get dozens of solicitations which week...
