I'm getting so frustrated with my job search. Everyone says to connect with recruiters and hiring managers on LinkedIn, but it feels pointless. I’ve sent so many messages and rarely hear back. I'm starting to think these messages just get ignored, or worse, annoys them. Am I wasting my time, or is there a better way to do this?

I wouldn’t focus efforts on any one single thing. Look at job boards, contact hiring managers, network, or attend job fairs. Diversify!

I completely understand how frustrating it can feel.
The key is to stay consistent, apply to as many roles as you can every day because quantity really matters.
Follow up on your applications where possible.
Make sure your cv stands out with clear headings, bullet points and a good font size.
Do not lose the motivation, a lot of roles are hard to fill and I see this often as I work in recruitment.

I was told to only connect and message someone at the company letting them know you applied to a job there. It might help pull your application out of the digital stack in workday from the 200 other applicants.

Hi all 👋 does anyone have any recommendations for career switchers trying to land entry-level digital marketing or social media coordinator roles?

I would really prefer a smaller marketing agency where I can wear many hats and learn the ropes from scratch. Thanks in advance 😁
