LinkedIn damned near landed me a sweet job. They were ready to offer, but HR put their thumb on the scale for their guy. Just barely missed another this week from Indeed, think asking $60-$70K was too much for that place, and if so, fuck 'em, that was a serious lowball. Networked what little I could, don’t know may people any more, and certainly not in tech.
What are your go-to places to job hunt?
Knowing a guy is the #1 way.
After that, Indeed, LinkedIn (yuck), and finding a good recruiter. Or specific company job pages, if you find a particular place you want to work.
Feel like both are just a Data-Broker-R-US fake job posting/data scraping fest.
Would love someone to change my mind.
What’s your experience and what are you applying for? Also what’s your resume look like? Do you have contacts in the industry you can fall on?
Coming into IT right now is tough depending on where you live. Not the greatest time to show up after 10 years.
I’ve been out of work for just at two weeks now. Been searching for a new job since about Jan 1st. Got a few small bites, but nothing really. The real changer for me was when I changed my LinkedIn from “Only Recruiters can see I’m Open to Work” to “Everyone can see” I got swarmed… now, that being said. Have not gotten any actual offers yet, but a lot more traction which I do feel will lead to an offer soon. My dynamic is a bit different as due to noncomplete and a significant distaste for the Deep South, relocation is also a requirement for me.
