I need help figuring out the how-to of coffee chats and meaningful small talk. How do I find the right people at the company ? What type of messaging lands well when I have found right people? How do I direct the conversation when a date has finally been set? How do I actually make a good impression for someone to think “let me hire him?” (industrial engineering grad, 7 mths unemployed) I’ve tried everything in the job search except networking. I just don’t have a blue print to follow. Help

ChatGPT gone wrong: I used it to create a shell for discovery responses. Turns out it basically generated its own different requests, which I only realized after going through them with the client! The first time I've used it for anything of any consequence and of course it backfired. I just left a firm to work for a solo with no staff, so I was thinking I would try to utilize it more for basic tasks. I feel like such an idiot! 🤦‍♀️😫

Hi! I'm a 26F looking for someone to chat with (eventually in voice chat, ideally) - I like to watch streams of games like genshin impact, dead by daylight, tft, kpop, travel, comedy, and running. Life has been a little rough recently with a layoff and family stuff, so I could use someone to talk to. I think I'm a decent conversationalist and have a good sense of humor, just looking to pass the time.

Quick 15 minute chat about work-life balance? I’m a student at Rice University working on a short research project about how busy professionals in their 20s and 30s navigate dating while managing a demanding career. Conversation would be totally informal and completely anonymous. I’m just hoping to learn more about time management when pursuing an intense career path. If you’d be open to chatting, please message me or leave a comment. Thanks!

I'm fed up with endless chat and email. A quick call or in-person chat gives me the context, urgency, and lets me ask follow-up questions that text just can't. It feels like some engineers avoid talking directly, which hurts our collaboration. I've got one engineer who won't get on the phone, even after I've politely asked. He just keeps using chat. Should I just deal with it through chat, or tell him it's not efficient?

Why are men who are ostensibly looking for a long term relationship only interested in talking about sex during get to know you chat. Obviously there will be s3x, that's the ONE THING that we for sure have in common. I'm sure you're great and would do amazing things. Aren't you interested in any other aspects of the other party? Curious what I do for a living? Curious what my hobbies are?

Can chatgpt help to write my resume or is it too obvious to hiring managers? I’m thinking of just doing it myself but feel like I’m lacking something to stand out from other applicants, which is why I want to use some sort of AI tool, but just worried that it would appear too robotic/too obviously AI generated. Any ways around this?

Full-time in consultancy but, like many, I’m feeling the sting of frozen salaries and shrinking bonuses. Looking to build a side hustle in freelance writing, editing or content design. I’ve got years of experience across tech and digital, turning complex, jargon-heavy content into something clear, human and engaging. Anyone wanna chat?

Work chat etiquette is wild. The one that gives me the most anxiety? When someone just types ‘hi’… and then nothing. Now I’m staring at the screen waiting for the actual question like it’s a suspense movie. Why do people do that? Just say what you need! What’s your biggest chat pet peeve?
