Bookmarked, joined stairmasters.

I am actively searching right now and I want in on this recruiter train so bad. I have 3+ years experience in a rather niche area of publishing (rights/permissions/licensing).

HiroProtagonist would you be open for doing private critiques if I send a PM?

If anyone is curious the character limit on connection request messages is about 300. I tried to send one to the director at another publishing company and I was ~400 characters over the limit on a 115 word message :(

So I guess the question is should I super pare this down hardcore or just send a generic invite and message her later if she accepts? Background: I interviewed with her for a job last year, but I did not have the qualifications she wanted. Now I do and I want to explain them a bit and ask her if she'll please keep me in mind for future openings.
