Just wanted to put a note -- This content has been in the works for a while now but finally published today, but with the several new rounds of mass layoffs in the tech industry this past week, I want to acknowledge the timing is not the greatest. Please keep in mind that many companies have frozen or stopped hiring altogether and these messages may be several months old and out of context. This video is in no means to brag about opportunities I've been presented, but rather commentary on specific messages I've received. That being said, hope you still enjoy the commentary. For those of you who were affected by layoffs, let me know if there's a type of video I can make to help you out, like how to optimize your linkedin, interviews tips, etc.
This reminded me of the time a recruiter emailed me about a Machine Specialist role when my title was related to machine learning. I ignored the first once because it clearly had been a mistake, but she followed up thinking I didn't get the last message. It was awkward that I had to reply with "I do software development, is this position related to software?" 😂

Sometimes, all recruiters need is just an extra 5 seconds to check to save their time and yours...but they don't do it lol
