LinkedIn Messaging and Professional Outreach

Ma Hnin works as an admin assistant at a local trading company in Yangon, earning 400,000 MMK per month. She sees a job posting at an international logistics firm offering 700,000 MMK for a similar role. The posting says 'DM me for details' on LinkedIn. She stares at the message box for twenty minutes, types 'Hello, I am interested in the job,' deletes it, and closes the app. Two weeks later, the role is filled. Ma Hnin had the qualifications. She did not have the message.
