How I’m feeling right now..

Is this bowl still active? M looking to chat
I have applied to several positions up Google. I have not heard anything back at all. No matter if I customize my résumé to the job description I still don’t hear anything back. I am wondering as to why Google ghost people instead of just telling them that they didn’t get the job? Do people on Google believe it is appropriate for the recruiters just a ghost people especially if they feel they don’t match the job?

A bit extreme, still relatable

Hello fellow introverts! Instead of talking to people I have an Instagram account to shout my opinions about books into the void. Id love it if any of you would be willing to take a look and give me feedback on the reviews. I feel like they aren't quite at the level I'm aiming for.

I agree wholeheartedly:
I have a love-hate relationship with DU.
Good jobs for introverts? So over consulting.

Just do it. It gets easier.
Write out good questions in advance. Prepare a script. Focus on the other person.
Use basic Chris Voss techniques to keep things going. Mirroring and labeling.
Mirroring: repeat the last three words they say with an upward inflection.
“An upward inflection?”
Gets them to expand on what they said. They don’t even notice you doing it.
Labeling: Distill what they’re saying into a shorter phrase, using “it sounds like” or “it seems like.”
“It seems like your goal is to make the other person feel like you’re listening closely.”
If you can get the other person to do 70% of the talking, you’ll be in good shape.
That’s exactly what I do and it works really well. Some people just love talking and being listened, so I just always ask the same type of questions to make them talk about what they like. It’s usually interesting as well because you get to discover new topics quite easily, and without having to talk a lot.
Then they think of you in a positive way because they felt great after the conversation.
Leverage your natural ability to connect authentically one-on-one. IM acquaintances on occasion just to check in or briefly commiserate. You’ll find yourself part of a surprising variety of inner circles over time.
Thanks OP.. we need more tricks here. Every day it’s a challenge to navigate through these mazes surrounded by our extrovert colleagues!!! No offense to anyone but hard reality
