Online applications in general are rarely successful. Pardon my directness, but if you've applied to 100+ jobs then you're likely doing it wrong. You are almost always better off finding a quality set of positions (10-15) and getting human referrals/connections to them. In job hunting, quality is much more important than quantity.
- bmon 9y agoI'm about to start looking for a new job. How would you go about building connections to companies you're interested in, outside attending relevant meetups and conferences?
- le-mark 9y agoPeople hate it, but there are some really good recruiters on linkedin. With some digging, you can find out what recruting firm a company is using. You also have to weed out the junior recruiters trying to connect with everyone on there. Having contacts with a few good recruiters can really go a long way. How to identify? Usually, they will message you with a specific oppurtunity, and will respond with the actually job req when quiried. Caveate is; I say this as someone with a lot of years of experience, so someone who's entry level or green may not be targets of these people.
