Takeaways

When reaching out to recruiters on LinkedIn, keep your messages short, personalized, and focused on adding value or engaging with their content.
To improve your chances of getting past applicant tracking systems (ATS), use chat GPT to generate previews or summaries for each bullet point on your resume, making it easier for recruiters to quickly identify relevant information.
When negotiating a job offer, be competent, think win-win, and build a rapport with the recruiter. However, be cautious not to come across as entitled or overly demanding, as it may negatively impact the offer.
Pay attention to the energy and professionalism of recruiters as it can provide insights into the company culture and how they value candidates.
