Good offer and being proactive
After 5 months in a new job, I was laid off the end of May. It sucked, felt defeated, and shitty. Especially being a third time in 2.5 years. I started applying same day I was laid off. I was a hawk for jobs being posted. On May 30th, I saw a posting only 2 hours old. It was on indeed with a local recruiter. I could’ve just sent my resume on indeed. But I took the extra step to call the recruiter. We clicked off well and she loved my resume after emailing her. Made a 90 day proposal for the hiring manager, got the offer this Thursday the 12th after two rounds of interviews. I just wanted to write this to encourage people to keep pushing. And to also be proactive. That little extra push or trying to call and get ahold of the person posting the job will pay off. This job market is shitty and cruel, the little touches can make a huge difference. I hope everyone that’s reading this gets some hope and positive vibes. You got this!
