Why do recruiters reach out first and then ghost you when you reply? You started this interaction. Not me.

I now have a templated message that I reply with, asking them to explain what about my profile or experience made them think I’m a good fit for their role. Most of them don’t reply, which is exactly what I want.

Are you talking about dating or recruiting?

it takes way more energy to copy and paste hi than it does to type it imo

I think they hit up everyone and see what they get. You’re a backup date.

Flip the script. Once they’re interested, that’s when you can ghost them 💃

I had a recruiter reschedule a meeting five minute after we were waiting for them on the video call… and THEN ghost

I have always wondered the same. This has happened to many people I know.

Hi, all! I’ve just discovered Fish Bowl and excited to mingle with other marketing professionals. This may seem weird, but I’ve always wondered how many general marketing professionals there are as opposed to specialized (email, social media, events, etc.)? Would love for people to share what field of marketing they’re in?

LCSW 50k loan repayment- Has anyone been granted a contract through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program? I’m interested in applying for the 2 years of full time work as an LCSW but my loans are a bit under 50k so I’m wondering if they would only give me what I need to clear my loans or would I still get 50k as long as I complete my contract ?

I started taking Adderal, 2.5 g which is not really a lot. It didn’t really help with my focus, instead I felt restless and somehow nervous and really thirsty. And it made me clench my teeth. I do grind my teeth during nighttime but never experienced this in the daytime. Does it take time to get used to it?

Hi Team,

TCS has released the offer letter for me & my doj is on 30th Jan which I chose. My current employer is ready to release me early and my lwd is 30th November.

I am confused whether I should join on 30th Jan or I should talk to HR for early joining. Also, there are rumours that Indian MNCs are cancelling offer letters due to recession and hence I am scared as I don't have any other offer in hand
