I’ll repeat this to everyone and it’s not because you’re looking for jobs incorrectly, it’s because you said you lack the “hook-ups”. Professional social sites like LinkedIn are critical for this very thing. So even if you absolutely HATE JOE, you connect because one day Joe will be employed and you might not be and have low enough standards to refer you for that $500 hiring bonus knowing full well you hate his guts.
So send connections to people in same and higher roles as you work with them like the professional corporate slut LinkedIn wants you to be so that one day that asshat joe willingly sells his soul for $500 and gets you past the first line of interviews and you get a job. But until then, attend local job field events and make new friends.
Good luck out there to every unemployed person.
P.s. Fucking joe is a fucking cunt.
