I just landed somewhere new, and every interview or reach out came to me because of networking, not a posted job on a platform. I used LinkedIn as a networking tool, expanding my connects and messaging everyone I could to have an ear out for any opps. Just had to be so vocal, so connected and so proactive. As an introvert, it was exhausting. But that’s the results I saw. Best of luck on your journey.

I’m an introverted extrovert - exhausting to network I hate it.

I’ve gotten exactly one screener interview in all my many years applying for jobs on those platforms. I think they’re genuinely useless in and of themselves for job applications. It’s all network, finding ways to get in front of people live.

I’ve gotten interviews through LinkedIn - interviews from jobs I applied to as well as recruiters finding me. It’s substantially less now but in the past -a lot. Landed 2 jobs in the past.

Been looking for a year. Had a few interviews but still haven’t landed anything it’s rough af out here. Some were from LI postings but most were from networking/seeing a LI post and asking a connection to refer me.

Try to get connected on LI with in-house recruiters from all the major agencies. Then, when they post a role on LI or Indeed, reach out to the recruiter directly. The online application process is a sole-sucking black hole.

Hello Everyone,
I need suggestions. I have 2 years of experience in IT as ASE. I am getting calls when I apply for the job opportunity from MNC but being a fresher and not having any experience in the Design field, they do not proceed with the hiring process. I have done Masters in Design (2021 passout)
Any suggestions would help how I can get into a good paying company as a fresher in Design.
Thankyou ✌️

How many matters is typical for one associate to handle (BL lit)? I know it is group-specific, but just trying to get a general idea.

Partners handle deps/court but that is about it. Is this a normal case load to be responsible for as a jr? I being dramatic by thinking this is too much?

I manage a junior developer that's been with the company for about 18 months. I end up providing them of TON of support. I need to give them extremely detailed instructions or they fail. For bugs, I need to point them to a specific function that's causing the bug. For new features, I'm basically writing their method signatures and defining their test cases.

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
