Question about following up: I received an email from the recruiter of a dream job, booking me for an interview with a CD. The CD canceled and the recruiter asked when I could reschedule. (Cont.)

Most likely the recruiter is waiting on the CD to get back to them before they can get back to you. What sucks about these scenarios is that a lot of recruiters won't simply say that in order to at least acknowledge receipt and status of things so you're not sitting there agonizing about it. On that note, don't agonize about it. This stuff takes some self confidence and certain level of caring but not being desperate. Don't follow up more than once weekly if no response. That's a bit much. Email the recruiter next Tue (not Mon) at like 10-11am after they've had their coffee and gone through their morning email pile so that yours pops up new in their inbox. Write that you're checking in on rescheduling as you continue to be very much excited about the opportunity and end with a direct question as a CTA - " When do you feel is realistic to expect some availability on the CD's calendar?"
Good luck!

They never reschedule. I followed up on Monday.. crickets. Can I follow up again? I really want to work for this place.

Another thought I had was to reach out to the CD but I’m keeping this for last since I’ve never had direct communication with him.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
