Recruiters (and anyone recently hired):

What do you think is the best use of time for someone jobhunting currently?

A) Networking- making linkedin connections and/or getting introductions from mutual connections to the people working at a company you want to apply for

B) Resume Rapid Fire- Bump out as many resumes as possible matching job desc keywords for listings you like

C) A+B for one job at a time

Also: Is it better to wait until getting a response from networking before applying?

I was hired late last year for my current position, I got an interview from connecting with someone in an industry group and getting them as a referral. If I didn’t wait for them to email me back and I just applied, I probably would’ve been placed in a different inbox with the other 150+ applicants. Definitely try to meet/connect with people in networking events or groups to see how they can advocate a role for you!

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
