As someone who escaped that hellhole a while back the secret is networking.
I’m a very introverted person who hates small talk and showing off, so it was miserable, but all of the interviews I got, except for one, out of my 250-350 applications were solely from networking. I started going through my contacts and shit, and I was looking at who I knew in the field, or might have connections in it. Worked wonders.
Yeah that's my problem. I'm an extremely insular autistic person with basically zero contacts. Other than my dentist or Lemmy, I haven't had a semi-serious conversation with anyone in literally weeks.
Have you tried talking with family? I got strong leads from multiple family members.
Yeah I have. They haven't been reliable.
What has your recruiter suggested?
I don't have a recruiter. I have met with people at my school's career center, but it seemed like their job was to direct me to online resources that I already read.
Get a recruiter. Their job is to get you a job, and their commission depends on how high your salary is. They're typically free.
I've used Robert Half in the past and was happy with them.
