Very interested in a recruiter position. I applied through LinkedIn about 2 hours ago but wondering if I should send a message to the VP of talent(title of person that posted the job)? Is that too much?

I would wait a day or two and then follow up. It puts some space between the first time your name shows up in their system and the next. Don't wait too long, though; you want to show that you're genuinely interested in the position.

Thank you:)

Yes, there's no need for you to send a message right away. Give them some time to review your application.

I would wait a couple days and then send it. Def think you are on the right track with the follow up though. It shows initiative.

Hi Guys,

One quick question-

If one chooses to quit the organization within 7 day. Do we still have to serve notice period.

I joined the Management Consulting division of an organization. The JD and the role offered are poles apart.

Also if anyone could refer me in their company, that would be great.

I have got 2.5 yoe in Consulting.
Thanks

Final option is to leave names of companies (and titles) of early roles but delete the content.

I can’t help but think they’re just delaying until the new quarter which is the normal raise period. Is a month and a half a long time to be waiting for this?
