I might have missed it in the OP, but I didn't see a lot of information on this: what is the best way to handle the "current position" requirement? I've been unemployed for a few months now, and LinkedIn keeps asking me for my current position. Do I say "unemployed"? That doesn't seem like the best way to draw attention.

Sarcasmatron posted:Absolutely do not do this. This seems more accurate. I use to do freelance photography/videography for weddings, events and short films, but it's something I haven't touched for almost 3 years now (moved across the country and never re-established myself). Would it make sense to maybe list that as my "current" position even though technically I haven't done anything with it recently?

ianskate posted:I'm in a similar, lousy situation. Feeling extremely defeated at this point Count me in, too. Though, in general, I feel really defeated, so maybe it's an extension of that. But, I had applied for a job through a company website and I tried to connect (as people have instructed) with the recruiter for that company. I know they looked at my profile. The next day I get a rejection letter for the position. I think I'm just having a hard time trying to switch "career fields".

I connected with a senior recruiter for a company I'd love to work for. I noticed, through the actual company site, that they have a posting for a job that fits me. Should I try contacting the recruiter through LinkedIn to inquire further? What exactly should I be saying/asking of this guy? EDIT: I actually went back and found the answer I'm looking for... But it did make me wonder, do recruiters have different "sections" of a company that they hire for? If I contact one recruiter, would they refer me down the correct path? Does it matter?
