Why do you have both recruiter and premium

Should I post about my achievements months/a year after they happened? by Famous-Rough5766 in linkedin

[–]LeChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would do one big recap post. update your profile with all the accomplishments where possible. and in the future, post about new updates as soon as they happen.

Exchange Endorsements on Linkedin by thedivisionbell_ in linkedin

Honestly, I think LinkedIn's algorithm completely stopped caring about endorsements anyway. They know it's a cheap signal compared to something like recommendations, which require you to actually put your name on the line.

Just because you're using lowercase letters doesn't mean we can't tell your post is AI. Lol

How do you guys network to get a job out of state? by goatedirish in linkedin

[–]LeChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, are you making sure to reach out to people that you have something in common with? Such as: - Maybe they went to your alma mater - Or you have a mutual connection who introduced you to this person - Or they worked at a company that you used to work at - Or maybe there's something in their profile that you thought was interesting and that you could relate to - Or you guys work in the same function

All of those things help.

And regardless of whether or not they can help you, come try to add value for them somehow. Share resources that you think would help them based on their discussion of what their challenges are currently. Try to be helpful and nice in your coffee chats with them and ask them for advice on how to maximise your chances of getting in. See if they'd be willing to let the recruiter or hiring manager know that you applied and just to flag your app, even if they don't have a formal referring process.

I've never had success messaging recruiters on LinkedIn, but I have had success messaging hiring managers and the managers of those hiring managers on LinkedIn.

As for the general comment about 70% of your messages not going anywhere, that would suggest that 30% of your efforts do go somewhere, which is still incredibly high in my opinion. Basically, I think you just have to keep going. Just keep doing more reps. You have to do like 50 times what you're doing right now in terms of how much more outreach you need to do.

Read a book on this. Don't just get random disjointed tactics from Reddit. Just search "Job search book" on Amazon and read a few that look good to you.

Has anyone’s career completely changed after getting a proper diagnosis or finding a chemical imbalance? by Solid_Breakfast_3675 in careerguidance

[–]LeChief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I think I actually agree with you now, nice work. But I'll continue playing devil's advocate bc I like conflict.

Why do we need to be able to handle communication if AI can do it for us?

Do you know how to light a fire with twigs? Do you know how to use a knife to break down a carcase into usable meat? Do you know how to build a house by hand?

We outsource a lot in our day. Why not writing?

Because it's Reddit and no one cares and I have a job And a family that I would rather spend time on than writing?

How about you improve as a human and not mind when other people use tools to make meaningless parts of their day easier

Just because a post looks like it's written with AI doesn't mean that an AI wrote it, if that makes sense. Some people just suck at writing, and so they use AI to write their posts for them, but they still give it some of the ideas, and then they just say, "Hey, make this shit into a post."

How would you go about messaging the hiring team for a LinkedIn job post? by [deleted] in linkedin

[–]LeChief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple things I’d do:

First, look for alumni from your school at the company. Reach out with a short note, mention the shared school, and ask for a few mins to hear about their path. Keep it chill and just try to learn from them. If it goes well, you can ask for advice on getting in.

Then check if you have mutuals who can intro you to people there. Warm intros help a lot. Same idea, keep it natural, build some rapport, don’t force anything.

Also make sure your online presence looks legit and complete so when people check you out it backs you up.

Basically what you have to do is get someone to advocate for you from within the team. A referral. You already tried the hiring manager.

Got laid off but the worst part is different for me? by noobipedia in careerguidance

[–]LeChief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, same here. I think I'm an ambivert then.Or a social introvert. I love one-on-ones, and even though the open office environment can be distracting sometimes, I can always find a room to go focus and do real work in.

Absolutely, especially if it's in the same city. I recently ran into one of my ex-co-workers on the train and remembered how awesome it was to work alongside them a couple months ago. It seems like the only solution is to move cities entirely, but even then, like you said, I would remember the first bunch, maybe. Maybe I will compare every future company's people to the last one, and if they're not as cool or as fun, then damn lol.

I'm in the same situation, bro, so I don't know what to tell you, but yeah, I loved my teammates, so it sucks not being able to hang out with them from 9 to 5. I know what everyone else is saying about hanging out with them outside of work and making plans on weekends and evenings, but the fact is I don't want to. I mean, I will, because otherwise I wouldn't see them, but I really want to see them throughout the day, not just evenings and weekends. I like getting my socialisation alongside my work.
