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.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Can someone explain how billable hours work?

I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
