I think your first step is to figure out where you want to go next
Anything content production will get you on the pedestal of the few ones. Become a true creative strategist.
Headhunters don’t really exist anymore. There’s recruiting agencies that get jobs to fill by companies and then they may search either in their database or LinkedIn for possible candidates. But you can’t really go to them and say “here’s X $$, find me a job.” Right now they are low on getting roles to fill because everyone’s doing layoffs and not using outside resources to find candidates. Companies just need to post on LinkedIn and they can get 500 candidates in one day. The headhunters of the 80s and 90s don’t exist anymore. All the networking has to be done by us. I wish there were headhunters. My mom recently told me the reason we always moved when I was a kid was because my dad had a headhunter who was always bringing him new opportunities that he couldn’t pass up.
Well, yeah, obviously there was no LinkedIn in the 80s and 90s. But LinkedIn is a useless platform. Doing cold outreach to hiring managers and recruiters for jobs I’ve applied for has gotten me nowhere. LinkedIn used to be good for networking but now it’s just filled with people trying to become influencers through inspirational posts.
