Job Hunting Chronicles

Happy Wednesday 📰 "Follow what you are genuinely passionate about and let that guide you to your destination." If you're looking for a job right now, this advice is worth trying. What have you got to lose by going after what you're passionate about? True, it might not work out. But...it might lead you to your dream job. The real question is, do you have the guts to try? #freelancer #FreelanceWork #FreelanceLife #WorkFromHome #RemoteWork #CatSitting #CatSitter #JobHuntingChronicles

Today's job search PSA 📰 If you're looking for a job right now, you've probably been on the receiving end of an unsolicited email like this one. Always check who the email is actually from before doing anything else. You're welcome. #freelancer #FreelanceWork #FreelanceLife #RemoteWork #JobHuntingChronicles

Happy Tuesday 📰 I know one bad experience shouldn't speak for an entire population, but this morning I had yet another recruiter miss our scheduled Teams call 💻 • No text 📲 to tell me something came up • No email 📨 to say they needed to reschedule • No phone call ☎️ to apologize Just silence 😶 while I waited... And people wonder why cat 🐈 sitting is my favorite job 🤔 If you're a recruiter or hiring manager and have scheduled 📅 a call or meeting with a candidate, please have the decency to cancel 🚫 it if you're not going to show up. The world 🌍 can be a pretty small place and while I usually don't publicly shame anyone, you can bet your salary💲that I'll mention you by name to friends, family, and colleagues looking for a job. It only takes a few seconds 🧭 to send a quick text 📲 or email 📨 but it can save your reputation forever. #freelancer #FreelanceWork #FreelanceLife #WorkFromHome #RemoteWork #CatSitting #CatSitter #JobHuntingChronicle...
