Totally goofed an interview, was in sell mode/selling myself, but the I didn’t want to come on to strong so I buffered with “oh yeah I can do some of the work.” 🤦🏼‍♀️ Knowing full well I’d be an asset

Cut to me towards the end of a perfect interview with a w+k recruiter saying, "you know, I thought it might be too early in my career to reach out. But then I said to myself ‘No, it’s not.’”

Ughhh I’m sorry OP. Sometimes those ingrained, subconscious societal pressures are a real dick. Use it as a learning experience, and next time don’t worry about coming on too strong. A guy saying the same stuff wouldn’t be seen that way, and neither should you! Go ahead and brag about yourself during interviews - there’s definitely a way to do it without sounding like an ass and without minimizing yourself. 💪🏻

^No. It's not. You're done there. Move on. Learn from it, be confident in your abilities and articulate them. If SAM1 wants to blow sunshine up your ass about how it's "The Man's" fault, rock on. If you're worth it, say it. Gender immaterial.

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
