I've been searching for a way out of the hell hole I call my place of employment for almost a year now. I've been on indeed, linkedin, glassdoor, but of course I've had no luck in find a better job.
I was talking with a former coworker, who I'm still good friends with, about how much worse it's gotten since they left. They then gave me a recruiter's linkedin contact information. This recruiter is how my friend got their current job which they are happy with.
I'm not sure how to reach to them and what I should say. I feel awkward just randomly sending them a message, but I guess that's what they do right?
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
