I would change my work ethic and spend more time networking at work instead of outside the office.

Work on both, internal opportunities and external. First step, brush up my resume, connect with recruiters, get a feel of the market and be less objectionable at work, more collaborative.

I feel it will be very difficult to get another role outside in this climate so focus more internally but if layed off, aggressively work on connecting with start up founders so I can get a position really quick (but won't last) since they can't sustain in a recession but focus on OP's suggestion of working on industries which hopefully will be recession resilient, have a few resumes to share based on job role and apply aggressively to the hiring manager directly by connecting via LinkedIn and guess emails via online research of their email format.

Reaching out to hiring managers works better if you can show value

Anyone else been looking for work for over a year? I've turned down two offers that were complete lowballs, but now I feel like an idiot and like I'm never going to find something.

How do you keep up/in touch with your network? Mine barely post anything on LinkedIn, so commenting on their posts is out of the question, and apparently it's impolite to just message or email them if the job searcher doesn't have anything to share besides asking for a referral or opening. If I don't have any relevant information to share with them, what should I do?

Are there any open positions for associates? I am a recent grad and have 1 year of ERP consulting experience (based in FL, but work remote). I am open to any role and would love suggestions. Thanks!

If 2+ people submit a referral on your behalf at their company for a position you recently applied for, does it make you stand out even more/increase your chances of getting an interview vs. just 1?

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
