💬 “The Cure for Job Search Ghosting: Visibility, Value, and Follow-Up” The #1 reason qualified professionals get ghosted? They disappear before employers do. Most applicants send one résumé, cross their fingers, and wait. But visibility isn’t a one-time act—it’s a consistent signal. To break the ghosting cycle, you need three things: ✨ Visibility: Optimize your LinkedIn headline, post insights weekly, and engage with hiring managers. 💡 Value: Lead with results, not responsibilities—show what happened because of you. 🔁 Follow-Up: Send thoughtful, professional check-ins that reinforce interest without pressure. Ghosting ends when your name becomes familiar — not forgotten. CTA: Ready to be seen again? What’s one visibility habit you’ll start this week? 👇 #CareerGrowth #LinkedInTips #ResumeHelp #EmploymentEmpowerment

Recruiters on LinkedIn used to be intentional and purposeful — they knew who they wanted and why. Lately, though, it feels more like a spam inbox: generic copy-paste messages with no real effort to understand the person behind the profile. Remember — we’re professionals with stories, careers, and hard-earned achievements. Please bring back intentionality and purpose. We’re not inboxes — we’re real people worth knowing. 🙏

The worst thing you can do if you’re fired or let go is let someone else own the narrative. It’s natural to want to hide after losing your job, but don’t hide forever. Get back out there and take control of your story. Kristina O’Neill and Laura Brown were both Editor-In-Chief at their jobs in the Wall Street Journal Magazine and InStyle, respectively…until they both got fired. They recently co-authored a book about how to navigate this experience, called “All The Cool Girls Get Fired.”   When they lost their jobs, Kristina and Laura felt anger, panic, shame and confusion, but they learned that in order to move forward, you have to own what happened. "I would run into people and I could tell they’re like, 'Oh, this is uncomfortable. I haven’t seen her in a minute, da da da…' So I would say, 'Oh hey, I haven't seen you since I got fired,' and immediately, like, flip the narrative," says Kristina. "Get it out of the way and then you can have the conversation and move on." If you were in Kristina’s shoes, how would you take ownership of your job loss?

Let's stop normalizing ghosting. Everyone deserves closure. Imagine your partner ended the relationship without saying a word. No explanation. No conversation. Just silence. You'd be devastated. Confused. Angry. That's exactly what ghosting feels like to job seekers. They invested:  Time preparing for interviews.  Energy researching your company.  Hope for their future.  Money taking time off work. And you give them nothing. Not even a generic rejection email. "We're too busy" isn't an excuse. It takes 30 seconds to send: "We've decided to move forward with another candidate. Thank you for your time." That's it. Basic human decency. Behind every ghosted candidate: Someone checking their phone constantly.  A family asking for updates.  Bills that need to be paid.  Confidence being destroyed. Companies that ghost: Show their true values. Destroy their reputation. Lose future talent. It's almost 2026. Treat candidates like humans, not applications.

🌱Day 17- Every bullet point should start with action.🌱 Weak verbs weaken your story. Each line on your resume should open with energy; led, built, increased, improved. Action verbs show ownership and drive. Start with “responsible for” or “helped with,” and your impact sounds like an afterthought. Recruiter insight Lead with verbs that move, they prove you make things happen. Rooting for you 🌱 #60daysofcvclarity #resumetips #day17 #jobseekers #careerdevelopment #personalbranding #linkedin

You know your assessments have drop-outs. You also know that your candidates have created their resumes with GPT. Still, Resume parsing, key word matching and online assessments are your go-to for hiring. And yes, you need “great” candidates too. Maybe your assessments or resume parser rejected that great candidate? Maybe a human-human organic interaction where candidates can put their best foot forward will catch that great candidate? Taking assessments are not a culture-check. It’s just an inorganic way to ensure candidates don’t get a personal experience. Change is hard. But like Bob Marley said “If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy” #interviews #hiring #tech #ai #assessments #intervue

In 2022, I had to make one of the toughest calls in my job. A candidate I’d been working with had his offer revoked. Not because of a bad reference or a gap in experience. But because of a single retweet. Years prior, when he was in middle school, he had retweeted a meme posted by Drake. It contained a derogatory word. The hiring firm’s deep-dive background check uncovered it. Their decision was swift: the offer was rescinded. He didn’t even remember the post but intent doesn’t erase impact. In today’s environment, firms are taking culture and reputation incredibly seriously. Rightly so. Social media is forever. Even if you’ve forgotten it, the internet hasn’t. And companies don’t separate you from your digital footprint. They see them as one and the same. The lesson? Audit your online presence. Delete what doesn’t reflect who you are today. And think twice – no, think three times – before you share, like, or post something you wouldn’t stand by in a boardroom. I felt for my candidate. He learned a brutal lesson the hard way. Hopefully, by sharing this, someone else won’t have to. #executiverecruiting #compliancerecruitment #investmentmanagementrecruitment #privateequityrecruitment #privatecreditrecruitment #hedgefundrecruitment

job application anxiety: a survival guide (from my experience as a chronic job-applier) • keep a spreadsheet. it won’t cure the anxiety, but at least you’ll know who’s ghosting you(????). • apply in small batches. burnout doesn’t look good on anyone’s cv. • don’t re-read your cover letter seventeen times. send it. close the tab. walk away. pls. • check your inbox once a day. gmail will survive without your supervision. • celebrate sending the application. rejection is corporate flirting anyway. • talk to people. everyone’s pretending they’re fine too. don’t be afraid to ask for help. • remind yourself that your value doesn’t vanish because they didn’t reply. their loss.
