Jobs

If you're job hunting, I'm curious- 

How are you conducting your search? 
Where do you look for open roles? 
How do you apply for jobs (en-masse apply, targeted applications, referrals from friends, linkedin messages)? 

then...

How did you land your last job(s)? Did you take the same approach?

Not searching. 90% of stuff comes to me direct from source or via recruiters on the cursed LinkedIn. Targeted applications most of the time, but in the past I rage applied to tons and still got interviews lol.

Out of curiosity- the recruiters who’ve reached out for the jobs you’ve taken- do you know how many were internal vs external? 

Also, where are you most visible/do you showcase your work?

Funny enough the stuff I’ve cold applied for I’ve only ever taken once - even if I made it to the end and received an offer.

Out of what I’ve accepted is split pretty evenly between direct (sometimes referred by people I know) and recruiters reaching out to me.

These are all design roles FWIW.

Of the jobs you’ve taken- did they come from the 90% from source (referral/direct connection?) or were they mostly from the interviews gotten from cold apps? 

Could include all “professional” roles or odd jobs, restaurant, retail, high school etc
