What's a tactful way to do outreach? If you're going to do outreach on LinkedIn, my best advice is keep it short. Hey, this is my name. I applied to these positions in the past. Here's my resume with my contact information. Would love to chat with you about this position. If you're not the recruiter, could you tell me who is? It's short, sweet. It's direct. The 5-paragraph email about your educational background, that's not required on a first message. Also a little bit of humility, right? Like, hey, I've applied 3 times. I haven't heard back from anybody. That's going to catch my attention. Nobody should apply to 3 to 4 jobs and never hear back from someone. LinkedIn to me seems to be the best way to find recruiters still because it's so searchable, so visible.
