I once got an intern a job because I recommended them to a big agency CD, after judging their book at a One Show portfolio review event. Fast-forward to now, this person is too good to respond to a LinkedIn message. It shows that the message was seen/read. Ingrate!
Happened to me too. Friend I gave a start to and trained is now the VP of Creative at that company and has totally ghosted on me now that I was downsized from my agency. I mean kick me a freelance project or something at very least.
Being kind is easy. Ghosting is easier for others, apparently. I always try to help people whenever they want an introduction or if they want their resumes passed along after a layoff. Now that it is has happened to me, crickets. I'm hoping to chalk it up to end of summer mindset/bad timing and my network will eventually respond after Labor Day. And, yeah, it sucks to be ghosted.
Yes but keep it light, recognize their success and ask if they have any leads. Hustle is tough but it works. Freelance leads, etc... good luck,
Also, they kno u and likely respect u, v likely would b stoked to snag ur talent.
asking bc I haven't spoken to this person in 8 years.
Hopefully you were nice to them.
