For Recruiters and Hiring Managers: I'm very interested in non-profits, children-centric organizations, and creative industries in an administrative and/or financial role, but feel free to reach out about other positions that coincide with where I have landed thus far. Although I may not have the direct industry-specific clerical experience based on where I would like my career trajectory to go, I guarantee that my passion will drive me more than someone with years on me. People deserve a chance. I get you're busy, but let's just give eachother some empathy and grace. And think twice after scanning somebody's resume or LinkedIn profile and then maybe think a third time. Maybe they do have the heart to be what you're looking for.*And if you can't bother responding to my message after connecting, PLEASE don't connect with me in the first place. The least you can say is, "Sorry, I can't help." The world would be a far better place if people were more helpful, and communicative and honest when they can't be. We all can and should do better.
