As a recruiter I can provide one piece of advice for LinkedIn candidates: PLEASE include your resume and contact information as soon as you respond to a message. This immediately sets you apart from other people who want to have protracted conversations before including their resume.

Yes and no. I work in staffing and recruiting as an Account Manager. We get requests from outsiders all the time, my recruiters get very annoyed when someone reaches out about a position but doesnt attach a resume. Recruiters are EXTREMELY busy so while building rapport is absolutely necessary, getting to the point right away is more valuable. The information in this video is excellent by the way.

I actually found my current job by reaching out someone on LinkedIn, but I used my membership in a specific ethnic association as a networking tool, which worked out.

Props for breaking down the psychology behind the reason *why* we connect with a recruiter the specific way that we do. Huge believer that context is key, especially when you're dealing with real people. There's a reason the button says "connect" and not "beg for job now!".

Hi Xiaoli! That's awesome, let me know how it goes! Make sure to send to multiple recruiters as well, not just one :)

Thanks for your guidance in navigating this perilous and scary jungle, with big looming animals around everywhere and if you make a mistake and step on a tiny twig at the wrong angle, someone turn around and will eat you alive. I really appreciate these scripts for guidance. While I'm socially intelligent and fairly extroverted in real life, I find the social choreography of these kinds of awkward social conversations with complete strangers utterly treacherous and can't overcome all of these unspoken rules that come with professionally talking to strangers on the internet. It's like it's own dedicated form of social anxiety, and it's a death trap. I simply can't act well enough to pretend it is the pinnacle of my life's purpose to work for a company that I never heard of til yesterday, and I don't know how so many people in the world just keep on keep on faking it and making it. I will be eaten soon, here in the dark.

Hi Jeff! Thank you so much for these very useful tips on how to reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn. It gives me some sort of ideas on how to reach my prospective clients in the future.
