KetTarma posted:I would like to add you to my LinkedIn network. I don't want just their connection, I want them to help me find a job. I've been sent this to about 9 recruiters, and only one has asked for my resume. I want to invite you to look at my resume and hopefully discuss any open opportunities you may have. If you're interested either message me back, email me at myemail, or call me at my-phone-number.

I'm having a hard time finding a recruiter. I've messaged 7-8 and no one has responded.

I joined one for my field, connected with two or three people in there who regularly posted openings, and so far I've had two other recruiters actually come to me with requests. Now to actually message them about jobs and watch for relevant postings I've joined 12 groups but have yet to make a post. I'm currently employed and don't want me employer to find out I'm looking for a new job.

It's not like facebook where you look at your friend requests. In LinkedIn no one gives a poo poo. I went from 20 connections to 550 in three weeks and I only had one guy message me, "Do I know you?"

What negative impact is that? edit: Thoguh posted:Option 1: You are only adding people you are actually connected with, and so are your connections. You get ahold of your first level contact and ask them if they can help put you in touch with person number two. Since they know both of you they contact person number two and put you in touch. Person number two was put in contact with you via someone they actually know so are actually open to talking with you. This is real networking and after meeting them they might be happy to help you find a job. Or maybe you find out the job isn't for you. Either way you now have a new, real connection. I went back and looked at your earlier posts. I think there is more to gain from having more connections than less. Despite spamming connections, (which is what I did) I now get way more views on my profile, come up in more searches, and have more people I could message in case I need a referral. If I ever do need to message one of my random connections, there is no reason for them not to help me because the connection mutual. Why would they think I'm an rear end in a top hat if they accepted my connection to begin with? RisqueBarber fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Apr 10, 2013 |
