Another great article, beautifully written. Thank you for sharing James :)

I love the idea of reaching out to new contacts, ex-colleagues and managers just to chat. I feel like LinkedIn messaging is so often used for recruiters cold calls, and not much else.

Thanks Helen!

LinkedIn kinda feels like a necessary evil, but it's not so bad if you ignore the recruiters 😋

They certainly have some interesting keyword searches sometimes :D

I think I must have reached some kind of milestone the other day when I got a message from a recruiter looking for a Java dev, who was very interested in the JavaScript course I completed a few years ago.
