How do people find the platforms like Linkedin, Indeed, Reeds, efinanciers etc during their job search?

4YOE CA, MBA in a few weeks and dropping applications since March along Finance/Consulting/Investment places with little success.

Either:

- I'm aiming out of my league (target £65-75k)

- I'm doing it wrong i.e. need to buff up CV, Cover letter more

- I'm looking in the wrong places

- The platforms are completly bollock and I need to do more through networking etc

Any thoughts?

I don’t think your target salary range is too high for consulting/investment analyst roles, I have 3.5 YOE and was recently offered £62k for a role in investment ops. The issue might be that recruiters on LinkedIn etc seem to do a box ticking exercise where you have to have very similar experience to what they’re looking for or they won’t bother with you. So you might have to approach a reputable agency, tell them what you’re looking for and why they should they put you forward. Also yes definitely more networking. Good luck

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry. While I look for work, it’s a bit discouraging seeing how hundreds of people apply for positions I see on LinkedIn. I still apply because you never know and AI plays a huge effect in selections. Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
