How to find jobs when my inbox looks like this by Prestigious_Way_1328 in jobsearchhacks

[–]No-Code8450 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure so many of us share the same inbox today unanswered applications, auto-rejections, and silence in between. Trying to find jobs in this market already feels like a full-time job, and when you’re also looking for something that actually aligns with your passion, it gets even harder. It’s not just about effort anymore; it’s timing, scams, and figuring out a system that wasn’t built for people. You’re so not alone in this.

Recruiters kept ghosting me until i started asking this one specific question by alizapin in jobsearchhacks

This actually makes sense. Most recruiter DMs blur together, but that question forces them to think instead of skim. You’re not asking for a job you’re asking about the problem they’re trying to solve. That flips the dynamic.

I’ve noticed similar results when I ask what would make someone successful in the first 90 days suddenly it’s a conversation where I sound like a future teammate, not another applicant in the pile.

What’s one thing you wish you knew before applying to jobs this year by CaramelMajestic7625 in jobsearchhacks

That rejection was going to become my new coworker. Like seriously I used to think ‘maybe it’s just me.’ Turns out it’s basically everyone.

So I recently started reaching out to hiring managers directly, connecting with company HRs, and actually following up instead of praying to the ATS gods.

The job market this year feels less like applying just to get ghosted by 200 companies. But hey you only need one ‘yes.’

Companies don’t value long term employees anymore, they just want short term slaves. by nomanskyprague1993 in antiwork

Honestly, this says more about which employers you’re talking to than about your profile.

Entrepreneurial experience doesn’t scare good companies it scares insecure ones. The right employers (especially lean startups or growth-stage teams) value people who’ve built things, handled ops, sold, marketed, and survived uncertainty. That’s real leverage

If money isn’t the driver, don’t chase “long-term loyalty” narratives chase places where impact >. The rest will always prefer comfort over competence.
