How is everyone finding information about jobs? Traditional networking? Company sites?

I feel like every posting on LinkedIn has 600 applicants by the time I get to the apply button!

What are new hints and tricks these days?

Definitely networking. A lot of companies are hiring quietly either internally or from their networks right now, especially with how odd the job market has been. Asking around within your network is one of the best ways to find a job right now.

Your network will probably be your best bet. It may also help to shortlist the industry and companies you're eyeing and go straight to their careers page. This way you get to choose the company that you really want to work for.

I’m togging back and forth from LinkedIn and Indeed.
My background is Account Management/Field Sales. Trying to secure an In-House Support role where I can apply my years of experience in supporting accounts and Field Reps’ Sale without the stress.
Daily I change the job title in which to search for opportunities.
I would like to hear suggestions as well…good question.

like

Definitely know who your power base is, family, friends, other church members and if you’re a member of an organization work those.
Traditional networking doesn’t work either. I read a great article where it talked about doing a video message speaking to your credentials and how your skill sets would be a great fit for the company. I’ve done this with great results.
The job market is so odd now that you have to be unconventional to really stand out.
Good luck!
