Do you have premium and turned on “actively looking” feature?

like

I would upgrade to premium. I typically received 2-3 messages a month before, but now that I have premium and ‘actively looking’ turned on I get a lot more messages

I didn't get calls until a few years into my career. I think it had something to do with the experience, the titles, the companies, and the skills/endorsements. I ONLY list company, title and dates. No descriptions. I'm not recommending the approach, just explaining why I think the recruiters didn't reach out earlier in my career (didn't start with big names or big titles in marketing or consultant)

Also try expanding location. Call greater New York even if you live in NJ

Definitely upgrade to premium job seeker and add specific specialties in your intro. Change your headline to what you actually do, not just a title. The algorithm will favor premium and favor non-automatic title headlines with a physical sort rule, it’s really that simple.

Premium did help me when I was jobless last year, but it’s not what got me the job I wanna make that very clear. If you have the funds for it it could be useful if done right for a few months.

A coworker (diff depts) and I realized we live in the same neighborhood after running into each other on the street. We started talking more in the office and he ended one convo with “we should get drinks sometime”. I gave him my number via slack and said to hit me up when he wants to get together. Hadn’t heard from him in a couple weeks then connected him to my friend who works for a company he’s trying to sell to. Then he asked if I’d set him up with my friend :( think I have any chance?

I moved to Canada from India 2.5 years ago for my PG in IT BA. I have a bachelors in IT and I worked as a developer for 5 years back home. After my PG, I spent 8 months looking for a job, my current company interviewed me for Technical project manager, but they offered me the role of a PC. I accepted it without negotiating as I did not want to lose the opportunity, I am extremely underpaid and I have been doing the job of 3 people, as my company keeps firing folks. I’ve lost all my confidence.
