What your job search looks like is really dependent on a variety of factors—your experience level, if you currently have a job or not, if there are certain industries or company types you want to target, etc. These can all affect how “successful” your job search feels.
From a general standpoint, the highest impact change I made is updating my LinkedIn profile so that it is optimized to attract recruiters from the industries where you are trying to land a job. Not to be that annoying AI guy, but AI is a cheat code here. If you’re familiar with Claude Code or other similar AI tools, use it to analyze your LinkedIn data and generate a report with highest impact changes you can make on your LinkedIn profile based on your goals (you can download your LI data from your profile settings). You can also download the Claude browser extension and have it manually go through your LI page if you don’t want to wait for the data export.
This took me from getting 0 recruiters reaching out to me ever to getting 2-3 reaching out to me every week to schedule interviews.
I also used Claude to build an automated job search pipeline. I’m specifically interested in Series B-D funded growth stage startups so it scrapes VC fund portfolio sites and other startup-focused job sites then updates a spreadsheet with roles that are a good fit for what I’m looking for. I think Nate Herk has a video on YouTube about how to set up this type of automated pipeline.
Glad my perspective feels useful to you!
How many years of experience do you have and are you currently employed or unemployed ? I’d suggest look for all job that you are capable of and explore your titles. Indeed/glassdoor/linkedin good places to start but you may across of lots of ghost jobs but you have to try somewhere
