Finding a connection of a connection on LinkedIn that you can connect with and then start a conversation with is the only way I have found. But some people are not on LinkedIn very much so you need to expect crickets from most attempts.

Otherwise, just keep applying to jobs online, or if there is a great role you find with a local company, you can try to drop by in person to hand off your resume. (if they have a receptionist at all at their front door.)

24 applications in 6 months is basically zero if you're serious about getting a new job. Beyond that, it's an employers market to a certain degree, though Mech Eng is better than a lot. Still, there's a lot of ghost jobs that don't actually exist so at 24 applications I wouldn't take it personally. I've submitted that many this year, being very selective with who apply to because most can't beat my current salary and haven't heard back on many. There's been a couple call backs but it's usually apparent that they're looking for something else or misrepresented their salary or something else so I've had to turn down 5 so far.

I apply to around 24 jobs each week and I'm currently employed but looking for a better fit. I would recommend applying to more jobs as others have noted since there is a lot of competition and also a lot of fake postings (ghost jobs) or postings for jobs where the hiree has already been selected.

How do referrals work?
If I get a referral from someone and I apply, then can I still reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn expressing interest in the role? And do I let them know that I already applied? I’m sure they get tons of messages so what should I say so that it won’t be overlooked?Im currently unemployed and very eager to get an entry level position in either HR, Marketing, or Project/Program Coordinator in the tech field, so any advice is greatly appreciated.

How do I get a job as a Mechanical Engineer if I dont have experience?

I couldn’t get an internship while in school. I have a BS in ME and projects from school under my belt. I’ve also passed the FE exam. I’ve been mostly just doing CAD for a company for the last year by creating minimally dimensioned drawings and moving parts around in assemblies. I want to evolve in my career and be doing more. I worked so hard to earn my degree and I feel like I’m not even using it. But who will hire me?
