Am I doing something wrong? It seems like the number of interview requests I’m getting have dried up considerably over the past month. I’m on LinkedIn almost all day applying to jobs. And then reaching out to the hiring manager to establish a channel of communication. My book and resume is updated. I’m also religiously checking career pages on agency websites. I have 6+ years of experience and I’m open to FL, FT, remote, hybrid, in office (NYC). What am I missing? Any advice is welcome 🙏🏼

The strategies you apply (job boards, contacting hiring managers) are pretty inefficient.

Have you tried optimizing your LinkedIn profile so that you show up when recruiters search for someone with your profile?

Here is a link to a free job search crash course. Hope that helps: https://topexec.solutions/5daycrashcourse

Try outside of LinkedIn too - it’s easy to think LI is the only place to go.

Hi fishes,
I'm currently attending lot of interviews, some interviewers are courteous, introduced them, their work experience, what they do and then ask me to introduce myself. While there are interviewers who don't even tell their name or anything, just join the interview and start asking questions, some interviewers don't even apologize if they join late.
One thing I noted is, these guys are generally not managers or HR, someone who have 1 or 2 years more experience than me.
Any experiences?
