- Hiring manager adds me on LinkedIn is positive sign? Just had onsite with manager A as host manager from a top company.

- What are the benefits of financial advisors I am reached out by several financial advisors on LinkedIn.

- Is Chief of Staff the fancier secretary/EA? I’m getting reached out for several Chief of Staff roles.
