So I think I’m ready to find a new job. I’ve been at my current company since I got out of school and I just feel like it’s time for a change. I was wondering what the best method is when it comes to job hunting. Should I be going through the interview process one company at a time, or just go crazy with applications and try and get as many interviews set up as I can?

I always advocate for the shotgun method. FIrst pick your big targets and apply, then go for the slightly smaller and send out any and all applications. Keep going until you get those interviews. Everything's so automated now that if you have any connections anywhere, or if you're good at networking, better get going using those resources.

Apply to as many places as possible! I think spray and pray is obviously a bit much, but it's a crazy market so you gotta hedge your bets. Recruiters are always a good avenue too

I would apply for as many as you want and just set up interviews. Its good to have compeition for your talents and skills and it gives you negotiating leverage.

Yeah, that sounds good. But just in case, have you become aware of your preferences or a particular field you'd like to explore?

I no longer have access to the Microsoft bowl due to the change in work email address, so I thought I'd see if any Microsoft management (former or current) are in here. I'm looking to confirm that when potentially coming back on at Microsoft, the hiring manager will be able to see my previous connects. I had a great experience at Microsoft, and would like to keep that door open in my mind, though my last connect has what I would call unfair characterizations due to a unique chain of events.
