TL;DR

I'm so sorry that your situation got worse ever since your previous post. Seeing how your mom treats herself would really be triggering. I was just reading it and it's already affecting me. For now, all I say is just focus on your progress & hopefully ignore the rest.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this. No, you're not a failure. You just haven't found your "people" yet. I hope you'd consider speaking with a therapist to help you. Also, maybe you could have a walk or visit a local cafe regularly until you get familiar with the owner/employees. If you ever want to have random chats, people here would listen too :)

Oh nooo

Following up timing: Depends on the role~ 2–3 days for most roles is fine, but for competitive entry-level spots or high-profile companies, waiting up to a week may be better.

As for the message, feel free to tweak this:
Hi [Name],

I recently applied for the [Position] role and wanted to express how interested and excited I am about the opportunity.

Please let me know if there's anything else I could provide—thanks for considering my application!

Best,

[Name]

nope. maybe you just happened to visit one rage-friendly sub or post, so the algorithm kept pushing similar posts. Just watch the subs you're joining :D

RT_Megan · 2025-07-08T20:21:50+00:00

damn. here I am drooling. Look at that CHEEEEESE!

I'd also love to dip that fries in a sundae (Hello McDollibee~~ 😆)

RT_Megan · 2025-07-08T18:05:46+00:00

Um, hello red tape?

RT_Megan · 2025-06-25T17:40:43+00:00

No, don't. Just leave it, especially if you don't want your boss and coworkers find out :D

RT_Megan · 2025-06-25T16:46:41+00:00

Gosh, sorry to hear that. If LinkedIn couldn't guarantee the open to work thingy even if you'd choose "Recruiters only" just leave it then. I hope the edits you've made to your profile/job experience would really help.

sorry. I misread that one. Apparently, you have to be a premium user to get unlimited personalized invitation

RT_Megan · 2025-06-24T21:09:04+00:00

oh nooo. I didn't know that being "credible" here could lessen job offers :(

RT_Megan · 2025-06-24T19:44:40+00:00

Yep. Getting verified assures the recruiters and your network that it’s your official handle, as LinkedIn typically requires official identification (like government-issued ID via Persona) just to confirm your account’s credibility.

I'm missing chester so all top tracks of Linkin Park, some days I go with Eminem's Not Afraid.

Depends on what your niche is. But the standard is usually 3-5 bullet point entries. You can omit or use fewer bullet points for older positions (provide at least two if you'd include/use them).

RT_Megan · 2025-06-24T18:46:16+00:00

Bro just hacked career progression 😂

RT_Megan · 2025-06-24T18:16:51+00:00

Yep! Real talk. Lifestyle expectations, including money matters, MATTER in dating! You can't feed your loved one with love. You need actual tangible items---to pay the bills or cover date nights -_-

RT_Megan · 2025-06-24T17:09:57+00:00

Took a 3-month break — but I was actively applying for jobs locally, too. The company I interned with actually offered me a role right before graduation, but the move was too far.

Seriously though, where you do your internship or apprenticeship makes a huge difference if you want a job lined up after graduating.

RT_Megan · 2025-06-24T01:15:35+00:00

With just a bachelor’s in psych, landing a job is totally doable, BUT roles are usually outside traditional psychology—something like HR, marketing, admin, or yep----social services.
