For US job seekers: I'm noticing a split in the market right now. some folks are getting multiple offers, while others aren't getting any at all. What's the difference? Is your network just super amazing, you've been hitting the pavement hard, spill the beans please!

I’ve noticed the people who network, are greave in reaching out to recruiter and hiring managers, seeking referrals, and following up after applying, are getting interviews.

The people who could apply and sit back are getting nowhere. It’s rough out there, so of course, people with solid skill sets, resumes, and experience are doing the best.

Sounds like a solid plan.

You can't pay attention to your network only when you need something from it. You have to build capital in your networking bank in order to be able to withdraw when you need it.

Yes to wishing them a Happy Birthday.. The rest depends on who.
1. If I have their number in my phone- will call once or twice a year, and I may not connect. Just killing time in Heathrow, ( read an article, saw a story, met a guy, scrolling through my contacts....insert excuse) and thought I would see how things were going in your world. No need to call back.
2. Comment on promotions and life events.
3. See an article that might interest them or something funny ( specific to them) forward it.
4. Attend alumni events
5. Always respond if they reach out.
6. If something makes the news about where they work, call.

Noticing this where exactly ? What consultants are getting multiple offers and where are they going ?

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?
