That's something that I've really wondered about too, since I can't count the number of people I hooked up with jobs I asked myself why the pendulum wasn't swinging back. I relocated "to the countryside" a few years ago and lost my big city tech network, where I was very active and even central. Not being on social media means I have very few ways to reach back out these days.
- bix6 1y agoYou live in the country with zero LinkedIn connections. Do you even want a tech job?
- yard2010 1y agoNo need to be snarky, dude is going through a rough time, can use some empathy
- pluc 1y agoEveryone thinks they know better, that's just the nature of people on internet forums. That's why I stopped asking for CV reviews - as soon as people know I'm struggling they come up with pointless edits. His point boils down to "you have no network, physical or digital" which might sound accurate with the information he's got, but isn't in reality because there's obviously more context than what I've shared here. I didn't just sit around brainlessly applying to jobs for two years. I've tried shit.
- petralithic 1y agoWhat have you tried? And why don't you make a LinkedIn now and add the people you know from before?
- teaearlgraycold 1y agoI don’t think I could easily get a job right now by applying to open positions. I haven’t gotten a job that way since my first job post graduation, and back then it was pretty easy to get into tech.
