Recently got laid off. After recruiters, applying online (Black Hole) & reaching out to my immediate contacts, I broke & checked out where former interns landed. One is now CD. Ok to contact re lead?

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,

I just left a Big 4 firm to Fund Accounting in hopes of better WLB, but now it’s looking like the hours will probably be even worse (60/70+ average weekly) throughout the year. I feel like I was misled during the interview process regarding the workload. Would it be a bad idea to try to return to my firm or another accounting firm? Another industry job? How bad is it to leave a job after just starting? Any advice welcome!
