I don't even know WHO to follow up with half the time. Applied through a portal, no recruiter name, no direct email *sobsss

I follow up after 1 week but always second-guess myself hitting send. Is there a way to do it without sounding needy? That fine line stresses me out every time 😂

I nvr follow up 😅 Always assumed it would come across as annoying or desperate. Now I'm wondering if that's exactly why I'm getting ghosted...

everyone need to know that you have to customize your resume for each job application. Then they start noticing or shortlist you.need to be specific on their role and responsibilities with your skills and experience.

and the best 2-2.5 months later, the company claim that they are busy with D&D and payroll, hence they even overlooked their critical recruitment. They even want to offer me that post, I immediately rejected.

Usually around 5 days for me but I always overthink the message SO much that by the time I send it, it sounds robotic 😂 Is there like a formula that actually works without sounding copy-pasted?
