🫱🏼🫲🏾 Connect with Recruiters on LinkedIn
Similar to writing your thank you notes, include a brief reminder of where you met and what you spoke of when writing your connection request.
✅ Follow Recommended Actions & Advice You Received
Maybe a recruiter instructed you to apply for a position through their company’s website, email them with additional information, complete an assessment—do whatever they said to keep the application process going!
