I know this individual from the last company I worked at and he has moved to a competitor in my local area. I have applied for open positions at the competitor this year and I follow up with him on linkedin. He indicates that none of the positions that the company posted on the website are current openings (that I did apply for), they are just trying to fill their database with resumes from applicants- similar to data mining. Should I contact this person on linkedin again to see if he knows of actual open positions in the company or should I wait longer? I last contacted him a few weeks ago.
