I'm currently pursuing new roles. I have a traditionally format and "creative" format resume (made in Canva). I'm a month into submitting, and I haven't landed a single interview or lead yet. I have 8 years of experience and am pretty competitive skill-wise. Any tips on how to adjust my strategy or better my search? My goal is to land a new role before the new year, preferably remote. For anyone who's successfully landed a role this year, what did you do? What worked/helped?

I’m not as familiar with the more creative roles. I will say ATS has a hard time with resumes that are not traditional or formatted to be easy to read. I would consider that first.

Are you only applying to listed jobs on job boards? You have to find ways to stand out in a job market that is this bad. Check out career pages on company websites and apply directly through there. Cold-apply to companies you want to work for, and take every opportunity to network.
