I keep hearing: “Don’t apply cold, just network.” But what if you’re applying for 40 jobs at once and don’t know a soul at most of them? For recruiters—what’s actually the most effective way to get noticed right now that isn’t already in every LinkedIn post?

Delivering value at your current job! That's the best way people will remember you when they have a position open, and it will be the best interview preparation. I think this is so underrated, some people take their job for granted or do the bare minimum.

100% good point, i should probably work on that!

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
