Too true unfortunately...👇
Be careful waiting too long to re-start your job search after taking a break.
Just spoke to someone who has an amazing background.
Issue is, they’ve been out of work since 2022 and can’t land a gig today.
He was laid off, had a lot of $$$ saved off so took a year off.
Market never returned, that gap got wider each day that passed by.
Two years later, he’s still out of work and struggling to land that next gig.
As Rando says, “companies can, and will, hold gaps against you”.

If you find you treat yourself differently to #RecruiterTwitter based on whether you are
a) job-searching
b) hiring
Consider why?
I see so many 'change their tune' when they're in the job-searching mode and then put their armor up when hiring. TA isn't mean to be an enemy to you

New week, new outlook, new opportunities. Don't fret over last week's let-downs or disappointments. New page. Hope everyone has a great one ahead! #stayfocused #eyesontheprize
Great tip👇
There are multiple tools you can use to follow-up with your points of contact during the interview process: phone, email, social media, etc. Some of your contacts will prefer one avenue over the other. Ask which is best to follow-up on and stay in communication. #jobsearch

Sometimes this might be the same person - but usually it feels like the person who connects the best with the hiring manager gets the job.
The best candidate doesn’t get the job,
The candidate that interviews best does.

Being a good writer is 3% talent, 97% not being distracted by the internet.
I think about this when I'm when in line to get on the plane and it's all backed up with people just trying to get sorted & into their seat.

Setting a *realistic* to-do list is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.

You want to know what’s negotiable in an offer so you know what you can negotiate.
The best person to ask is the internal recruiter of the company. They’ll happily tell you what the negotiable components of the offer are
