So let's talk about messaging, right? Because people get so weirded out with messaging. I'm a mid to senior engineer and I am looking to find a job. What I would do is I said, hey, hey Dean, I know this is random, but wanted to shoot you a DM. I'm looking for a job right now. I humanize the DM, right? I humanize the DM. Hey Dean, I know this is random, right? Like that humanizes me, right? Hey, I know, like I didn't say, Hi, Mr. Dean Shelton. I would love to talk with you. No. Hey, Dean, I know this is random, but wanna shoot you a DM. I'm looking for a job right now, right? And I love the Web3 space. So you said you have a passion, like hiring managers right now want people who have passion, right? And, and I've done some personal projects leveraging certain technology in the Web3 space. Would love to chat about this position. Be intentional with the DMs. Add a note. Incredibly, incredibly important.
